Nan sa a Gratis Nan yon mini-seri atelye ekriti kreyatif vityèl, adolesan yo pral fè ekip ak atis-edikatè ki gen eksperyans pou ranfòse pwosesis ekriti kreyatif la, soti nan redaksyon rive nan pèfòmans ak piblikasyon, pou ogmante alfabetizasyon epi bay jèn yo nan Miami plis fòs atravè aktivite ekriti ki baze nan kominote a.
This Fall’s theme is Best of the Vault, a curated selection of fan-favorite presentations from previous Speak Up programs. Join us weekly for creative writing Throwback Thursdays after school!
Pwogram nan ouvè pou tout adolesan (ki gen laj 13-19) epi li se gratis jan l ye a San devwa. Pa bezwen okenn eksperyans anvan!

Voice and Co-Authoring with Maika & Maritza Moulite
Maika Moulite is a Miami native and the daughter of Haitian immigrants. Her acclaimed young adult novels frequently explore themes of identity, family, and vengeance. Her work has been featured on the TODAY Show and Essence Magazine. Maika is also a doctoral student at Howard University, exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, culture, and media. She’s the eldest of four sisters and, when she’s not writing, loves listening to audiobooks, dancing and singing at the top of her lungs, and journaling (which actually means… more writing).
Maritza Moulite graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s in women’s studies and the University of Southern California with a master’s in journalism. Her work often examines the lives of marginalized people and revenge, and has been featured on NPR and Late Night with Seth Meyers. Maritza’s favorite roles have been Head Start literacy tutor and pre-k teacher assistant. She is now a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania exploring ways to improve literacy through children’s media. She clearly couldn’t get enough of school. Her favorite song is “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire.
