ONSITE: Our Whole Black Selves
Whole Black Self is a one-day workshop using the poem “Whole Black Self” from Kristina Hamlett's book of poetry and prose “She Lives Here” to examine the challenges and joys of living as a Black person in this country, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and the rise of social justice advocacy. There will be free writing prompts provided and time for discussion. The hope is all students will leave feeling empowered and embrace the opportunity to express themselves in a safe, open environment.
