Instructor: Juan Vidal.
Theme: Bringing Your Whole Self to the Page, with Author Juan Vidal

 In this workshop, we will explore the powerful connection between personal identity and creative expression. When it comes to creating art, there is power in embracing our unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Young writers will learn more about how they can infuse authenticity and depth into their craft. Through open discussions and guided exercises, attendees will be encouraged to weave their own stories, emotions, and truths into their writing, ultimately making for more compelling characters and narratives. This session will be a celebration of individuality and inspire each participant to bring their whole selves to the page.

Juan Vidal is a writer, journalist, and cultural critic, and the author of the memoir Rap Dad — which explores father-son dynamics and Latino masculinity through the lens of hip-hop culture — and the YA novel Una segunda oportunidad en la Tierra. He reviews books for NPR and contributes to publications such as Vibras, Escudero, Rolling Stone, y GQ. His work has also appeared in Cartelera, Complex, HuffPost, and others, and has been mentioned in The New York Times.
