Thanks to all who joined us at the New-York Historical Society on Friday, March 15th for our CHAPTERS Reading, the first installment of our 2019 Spring Series with Girls Write Now Agents of Change honorees, Eva Hagberg Fisher, Wayétu Moore, and Joanne Ramos!
Eva Hagberg Fisher on Girls Write Now:
“Writing saved my life—and i’m so excited to support Girls Write now in giving the tools of language and storytelling to underserved young women.”—Eva Hagberg Fisher, How to Be Loved
Wayétu Moore on Girls Write Now:
“Without mentors like my mother, my aunt and others, my relationship with the written word would not have crystallized or grown to what it is today. I owe everything to my childhood mentors for introducing me to writing and the arts as both rehabilitation, and a way to seize and exist in my power. Girls Write Now champions writing and mentorship as a path to individual and collective power, and for that I am in awe of their work and mission.” — Wayétu Moore, She Would Be King
Joanne Ramos on Girls Write Now:
“Words and stories have been the constants of my life. They helped me make sense of the world, and my place in it. Girls Write Now helps young women find their voices and tell their stories with skill and power–the prelude to any action, and any change.” –Joanne Ramos, The Farm
Alumnae pair, Andrea Gabbidon-Levene and Rocio Cuevas hosted as emcees for our 2019 March CHAPTERS Reading.
