Cincinnati, Ohio - July 24, 2010 -
Women Writing for a
Change and the True Body Project are partnering to offer a five-week series
this fall for teen-aged girls, which will combine the best of both
organizations. The Sunday afternoon
sessions, 1-4PM, from September 26 through October 24, 2010, are open to young
women in grades eight through twelve. Experienced teacher-facilitators will
provide a rich blend of curriculum elements from both organizations. Sessions will take place at WWFC, 6906 Plainfield
Road, Silverton.
Women Writing for a
Change, founded by Mary Pierce
Brosmer in 1991, and The True Body Project, founded by Stacy Sims in
2005, both seek to empower girls and women to connect to
their true bodies, to develop their
authentic voices, and to advocate for the health and safety of girls and
women
everywhere. Through
the art of writing and the creation of community, individual voices are
nurtured, developed, and celebrated.
"This is a collaboration whose time has come,"
says Stacy Sims, TBP founder. "Women
Writing for a Change has been empowering women and girls for decades, so
we at
True Body Project are very excited to be working together."
Nan Fischer, WWFC
Program Director, adds, "A compelling part of both our programs is the
emphasis
on using one's experience to advocate and bring about change for
others. We see this as a wonderful opportunity,
especially for our teen writers."
