Learn how Koa, a valley girl herself, approaches these challenges when writing her newsletter, Valley Girl, a weekly interrogation and cultural study of the Los Angeles gender stereotype across American culture, history, and lived experience. She will share how she broadens understandings of real-life valley girls and analyzes the various cultural and political factors that shaped the pervasive gender trope that still persists today.
Expect an engaging, thought-provoking evening with author and Girls Write Now Mentor, Koa Beck.

This event will encourage writers of all ages and backgrounds to believe that their story is worth writing by embracing courage on the page and letting go of hesitation and self-doubt in order to write with honesty and boldness.
