Vin jwenn nou sou entènèt pou Speak Up, yon pwogram ekriti kreyatif k ap sipòte devlopman atistik ak pwofesyonèl adolesan yo….

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.

Pwogram nan ouvè pou tout adolesan (ki gen laj 13-19 an) epi li gratis menm jan li pa gen devwa. Pa bezwen okenn eksperyans anvan!

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 A Second Chance on Earth. He reviews books for NPR and contributes to publications such as Anbyans, Esquir, Woulo wòch, ak GQ. His work has also appeared in Pano, Complex, HuffPost, and others, and has been mentioned in Nouvèl Èdikay.
