Stories
“The writing bursts contain multiple allusions to racism, commentary about the ways crime gets punished in America and observations on how poverty and privilege dictate life trajectories. But when the writings are read, the words became a heartfelt and oft tearful reflection of hope.”
“As the detainee read his writing aloud, his sparse words cracked open the siloed bravado of jail habitation that gives no quarter to vulnerability.”
The stories brought forth in the WRITE TO HOPE workshops, expose the brokenness of trauma, pain, untreated addiction, loss and sorrow. Raw, and unfiltered, the stories create space for objective reflection, that lead to healing, clarity and a skillful path forward.
