WWf(a)C Launches
Affinity Circles
Affinity Circles support writers who share a specific identity or life experience. This circle is by and for women and nonbinary people of color, with only writers of color on the page and in the room. Let's turn inward through our writing, and let's turn to each other to connect, and together let's hold space for and process all we're carrying and all we're longing for.

Sliding Scale Tuition $25 or $15
