It's my birthday month, and though June may be gloomy here in SoCal one of the bright spots of my life is volunteering with WriteGirl. I found WriteGirl almost 20 years ago, and I rejoined the family in 2021 because I needed a connection during all the disconnection and hardship we were all facing. My time as a mentor and a volunteer has always been inspiring, and I can think of no better birthday gift than raising more funds and awareness about this great organization.

Founded in 2001, WriteGirl is a nationally recognized creative writing and mentoring organization serving more than 500 teens annually, mainly from LA's high-density neighborhoods. WriteGirl envisions a world where all teens live, write, and speak boldly as they become inspiring, transformative leaders, driven to effect positive change in their communities and the world. WriteGirl alums go on to a wide variety of careers, including careers in the creative economy, such as WriteGirl alum, poet and activist Amanda Gorman.

Right now, Amanda's poetry has been challenged and is at-risk of being banned from a public library. I fear more young women and teens will give up on expressing themselves for fear of never being heard or read. WriteGirl is all about safe spaces to explore creativity and find your voice.

I’ve created a fundraiser to support WriteGirl! You can help me raise vital funds to continue WriteGirl programming!
