For The Record: Creative Writing Workshop

What does it mean to set the record straight?

“For The Record” is a Hip Hop Healing workshop inviting young people to explore their stories and voice through creative writing, reflection, and community. Rooted in Hip Hop culture and healing-centred practices, this session creates space to express what’s often unspoken and to begin rewriting the narratives we carry.

You will engage in guided writing exercises, explore storytelling through Hip Hop, and have the opportunity to share their work in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
