WRITING OUR STORIES, CHANGING THE WORLD...
Welcome to the second annual Blue Ribbon Mentor-Advocate program Summer Writing Institute! We will be gathering together for the next 3 weeks to find our voices, explore our stories and share them with the world. Our theme comes from a quote by James Baldwin:
"You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world… The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it. "
So, let's get ready to share our stories and change the world millimeter by millimeter!
