December 7 & 8 2pm-5pm (Eastern)

In an interview with Mari Evans for the classic text Black Women Writers Audre Lorde explained her own immortality.  “My words will be there,” she said, speaking about her relationship with a movement that would outlive her, and in fact, her words are here invoked in the streets, in the academy, in non-profit grants and even by football commentators.  This intensive is for those of us who not only live inside the brave words of Audre Lorde and other Black feminist ancestors, but who also feel accountable for the work our words are doing in the world now and beyond our lifetimes.  This is a space for writers, speakers, educators and organizers to hone our intergenerational listening and to enhance our own intentionality.   We will use individual and collective writing, and supportive listening and sharing as our primary methods.

The course will be limited to 12 participants.
