Writing In Color
Teaching People of Color How to Write via Free Educational Writing Courses
Mission Statement
Writing in Color offers free writing courses for people of color. Our organization was developed to create a space for people of color to learn the value of reading articles by writers of color as well as sharing their reflections as a class. We specifically have chosen teachers who identify as people of color to create a clear foundation of safety. Additionally, all sources and references included in the curriculum are from writers of color. Lastly, participants are invited to enroll in the writing courses as a means to both share and heal collectively. While we do lightly encourage publication of written pieces, the primary goal is to create a culture of safety and teach concrete writing skills.
