📣There's still time to join @theamandashow12 and @omariapratt for a special online four week class "In these Times...Writing as Survival" and we still have one scholarship left!

Spread the word!! (Class begins Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and runs every Wednesday for four weeks from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.) 📋Course description: This four-week course examines current events through creative writing and self-exploration with a Black Feminist lens. How do we write in times of war, genocide, climate disaster, class divide, and the rolling back of civil rights? What does your community need to survive this moment? In these times, the craft of writing and the skill of critical thinking are essential tools for survival. Using writing prompts, discussion, and examples from movies, novels, and music, these four weeks will be generative with the goal of producing one form of written work (poem, short story, manifesto, letter to your representative or community, grant narrative, etc.) that speaks to the present time we are living in and offers a template for a new way forward. As the title of the class alludes to, discussions like these more important than ever. Join us!! #writingcommunity #scholarahip #creativewriting #northcarolina
