We will also discuss plot, structure, voice and narrative, and how these moved us along on our journey with these characters and story.
Our next Book Club circle meets on Sunday, February 24, 3-5pm,

FEATURED WRITING

"I'm from I am who I am and no one will change me."
--excerpt from Where I'm From by Felicia
~~~ For the last four school-years, WWfaC Program Manager and Facilitator, Dawn Koch has been leading one-hour writing groups with young women affected by homelessness in the Greater Cincinnati Area. In three Cincinnati Public Schools - Woodward, West High, and Withrow - Dawn meets weekly with young women to write, share, lend support, and build community. Tears are shed often as the girls share their powerful and heartbreaking stories of survival and loss. But these groups are about so much more than the pain. They are about young women coming together as a community in support, in celebration, and in friendship; and the discovery that they are not alone in this troubled world.
~~~
Where I'm From
by Felicia
I'm from Gold Star Chili Cincinnati Favorite
and Skyline Time.
I'm from apartments all over the city.
I'm from where we get together on holidays
and birthdays.
I'm from a father with no responsibilities
but has 36 kids.
I'm also from a place called Philly where the
other half of my family resides.
I'm from bitter cold winter nights with
no fireplace inside.
I'm from the love and care of my mom's side
of the family.
and also the bittersweet affection of my dad's
side of the family.
I'm from I am who I am and no one will
change me.
I'm from where we struggle to make ends
meet but still keep
that tight bond between family.
I'm from let's go out to eat and celebrate my
new job.

SPRING SING
| |
'Tis the Season!
Join Shelley Graff as we sing back the warm air, the budding flowers, and the gentle rains in this sweet time of renewal and rebirth. During this year's Singing In Sacred Circle, we will celebrate the season as we look into our sister's eyes and share voice and spirit through song. While learning short, repetitive women-centered and earth-based songs from a variety of traditions, power rises from the center of the circle as all voices create an energy that is empowering, loving, and healing. This opportunity is intended to allow women, regardless of singing experience, to share their voices in a noncompetitive, relaxed safe space. Come sing along! Percussion instruments are welcome as well! Please bring a journal for reflection. Also, please feel free to bring a short seasonal piece (ie. poem or chant) for sharing.
Saturday, March 30th, 12:30-3:30
$10 suggested donation
This event is held at WWfaC in Partnership with Women's Way of OH/KY
