Speaking on Writing as Therapy

Featured Guests:  Dom Dawes and Jamilah Araf

This week we’re delighted to present Mentees Dom Dawes (he/they) and Jamilah Araf (she/her) as they chat about Dom’s poem “I Am From.” You’ll hear about Dom’s creative process and how his teacher impacted his writing. We hope you enjoy this beautiful discussion about poetry as therapy, silencing the editor in your head, and the pressure to assimilate into the “ideal” American.
