Kelly’s writing generative workshop explores the theme of grandmothers––the grandmothers we are descended from, the grandmothers we are, or even the grandmothers who have influenced us through fairy tale and myth.

Using prompts of personal photos, objects, and memory, participants excavate and expand our ideas and feelings about “grandmother,” explore the impact of grandmothers on our identity, relationships, cultural background and family history.

Registration is free, but you must register to attend. The session will not be recorded. 

We hope you’ll join us for this special free event on Zoom. All welcome!

The TLA Network exists to support and promote individuals and organizations that use the spoken, written, or sung word as a tool for personal and community transformation.

The Transformative Language Arts Network (TLAN) is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our offerings, organization, and aspirations. Words have the power to question, subvert, and transform limiting cultural narratives as well as reinforce entrenched stories and stereotypes. The TLA Network wants to make clear that we celebrate and uplift conversations across identity and difference, whether rooted in race, religion, social class, ethnicity, disability, health, gender, sexual orientation, age, military service, and other identities.
