Somos Escritoras: A Creative Space of Stories, Healing and Love for Latina Mothers and Daughters

Originally, Somos Escritoras was imagined as a space for the intergenerational exchange of stories, histories and knowledges between Latina girls and their mothers and fathers.
As, I worked alongside girls and their parents, girls always asked for their own space to learn from each other and write and share bravely.

After 3 summers of workshops for Latina girls we are going back to our roots, to the foundation upon which Somos was 1st imagined …
Our own stories and histories are deeply connected to our ancestors, those that have journeyed before us, and continue to be written and rewritten over time and space.
As we make sense of our lives, it is vital that we connect to our histories to learn from them while forging new futures alongside our elders, our mothers.
This August, we will host a Somos Escritoras workshop for Latina mothers and daughters (grades 6-12). Our space will be familial and communal and built upon our collective histories, stories and histories.
We will come together as Latina mothers and daughters to use art, writing and storytelling to examine our histories and explore our futures.
This workshop is FREE & space is limited.

Details coming SOON!
