Everyone has a story to tell! Join us for a relaxed, hands-on writing workshop inspired by The House on Mango Street. Local poet, Karla Hernandez Torrijos, will guide us in exploring themes of home, identity, and belonging as we write short, creative pieces from our own lives. No writing experience needed - just come ready to share, listen, and be inspired! This event is in partnership with Linked2Literacy and the Read, Connect, Celebrate: House on Mango Street Project, a year-long, citywide initiative to bring a classic book to life through the arts and community conversations.
