About the Event

Thursday, April 6
6-7 PM ET

virtual event; open to all mentees, mentors & alumni

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: The Story Changes Minds.

We need stories to heal, to express our truths, and to enact change—but how does the need for activism in our stories impact our creativity? Gen Z writers have been told that their words are going to save the rest of us, and many of them are rising to that challenge, but they’re also feeling the pressure. Let’s talk about it!

Join us for a discussion about what it’s like being the next generation. How does it feel to have the mic? What pressures are on young writers and creatives? And how can we at Girls Write Now provide support and care for the emerging leaders among us?
