We’re proud to once again feature the remarkable young women of Cinnamongirl, a transformative Oakland-based program that empowers, guides, and nurtures the creativity and leadership of Black girls. Write Your Story, now in its fourth year, is an exciting year-long program that brings creative writing masterclasses and artistic mentorship to young women of color, ages 12 to 18, and collects and publishes their work in a bound anthology. Come hear the original work of 2024’s cohort, along with some of the amazing WOC mentors they worked with.
