Yesterday’s CALLADITA TE VES MAS BONITA Creative Writing Workshop was powerful. There is something really special about writing in community and surrounded by women of color. ✍🏾 Writers I called into the space: the spirits of #gloriaanzaldua @tonimorrisonsociety #tonimorrison #mayaangelou ✨ Work we brought into the space: ✨ La Guerra by @cherriemoraga #cherriemoraga ✨ The Phenomenology of Anger” by Adrienne Rich #adriennerich ✨ Poems by AUDRE LORDE: A Woman Speaks, A Litany for Survival and Power #audrelorde ✨ The Moths by @helenamariaviramontes #helenamariaviramontes ✨ ✍🏾 The writers were brave, vulnerable and had zero f*cks to give. They wrote the truth unapologetically. Thank you to all the writers who were present. Thank you @angysgotit @dominicanwriters for being an advocate and champion for our voices. Thank you @poetswritersinc for supporting the @nyclwg and our initiative to get more #Latinx writers writing and publishing. And a special thank you to Ray @spirituallysparkled for creating a space where we could feel safe enough to break wide open. Beloveds there is only three more workshops left. Join us. RSVP link in bio and @dominicanwriters 🙏🏾 Aché STAY TUNED FOR PART II of Calladita te ves mas bonita at the #dominicanwritersconference in May 2020.

Strange as it may seem, there is no other way to be sure. Completely sure. Well you can never be completely sure but you can try and hold fast to some things. Smell is very important. Your eyes can fool you. You can see things that aren't there. But not smell. Smell remembers and tells the future. No lying about that. Smell can make your heart crack open no matter how many locks you have wrapped 'round it. You can't see smell coming so it takes you off guard, unaware. Like love. That's why it can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on the state of your heart at the time. Smell is home or loneliness. Confidence or betrayal. Smell remembers.

I am the welder. I understand the capacity of heat to change the shape of things. I am suited to work within the realm of sparks out of control. I am the welder. I am taking the power into my own hands. --Cherriê Moraga
