Writers Workshop.

To master is to teach.

I tailor workshops for the writers of tomorrow to hone their skills today. This ranges from creative writing and poetry, to public speaking and formal writing. Let me help your community speak their truth. Workshops include;

• Poetry: from purpose to devices, constructing and editing poetry for page or performance.

• Public speaking: a practice of rhetorical devices that integrates literary, oral, and visual elements

• Formal Writing: learning the structure and sophistication for essay, scientific, or journalistic writing.

“[Kiran] created an informal, comfortable space that REALLY encouraged self-reflection on anti-racism. I really appreciated how strongly yet sensitively they prioritized taking action.”

“AMAZING! Truly loved getting uncomfortable, in a safe space. I felt safe because everyone in that session was finding a way to learn about how they could be an anti-racist, not a non-racist. I liked the scenarios and that the breakout rooms were with the same people both times so you could continue conversation.”

“very well organized, interactive with polls, feedback, and opportunities to collaborate with peers.”
