What is something you love about summertime in #LosAngeles? WriteGirl Alumni recently joined @AHJNetwork for a free film screening of Summertime at @InnerCityArts. We led a mini-poetry workshop where the young writers wrote about all things summertime!
This week we got to meet The Flying Robot, Mr. Bot 100, Sky 10,000 & more at our Bold Ink Writers Science Fiction Workshop at Dexter Middle School in Whittier, through our partnership with @AHJNetwork! We love the robot characters & stories the youth created in our workshop!
We at Bold Ink Writers condemn anti-Asian hate and stand with our AAPI volunteers, teens, alumnae and community affected by racist and misogynistic violence and hate crimes. We grieve with our Asian volunteers, teens and alumnae and hold space for their anger and their voices.
Last week at our Bold Ink Writers workshop, the teens at Central Juvenile Hall explored concrete #poetry. Concrete Poetry, sometimes called “shape poetry,” is poetry whose visual appearance matches the topic of the poem. Here is a piece from a teen in the shape of a heart.
In one of our recent Bold Ink Writers workshops, one of our teens, Mikayla, drew a Memory Tree with the word "ALIVE," which inspired her to write this piece. Read more about the work we're doing in our Bold Ink Writers program at https://t.co/KejDq12D6c

Time and time again, the law has proven insufficient to support and protect Black citizens. The Stand Your Ground Laws in Kentucky and other states in the country perpetuate the systemic racism and oppression of the Black community.
Remember: Attorneys General and District Attorneys work for us.
