Writing Workshop: How to Love THIS Queer Body of Color
Answering the questions in our relationship

In this writing workshop, we will explore our relationships with our bodies by answering the questions related to each stage of a “relationship.” The workshop will consist of group discussions/activities, free writes and sharing (if able). Participants will be asked questions that start group discussions around our relationships to our bodies, and then asked to free write. Sharing is not necessary, but encouraged.
