Whether or not you want to be a writer, journaling is a helpful practice used by many successful people in the world. Why not you?

hen life piles on the stresses, it’s hard to find stable and steady ground with our emotions and feelings. The feeling of uncertainty can limit the need to be present, and it is challenging to operate from a healthy place. Take a creative writing break with writer Dzidzor Azalgo and learn tips on using journal writing to express, emote, reflect, and vent feelings. Use creative writing to journey through embracing our rage, peace, and joy in the midst of uncertainty.

The workshop was facilitated at the Boston Ujima Conference: The Assembly of Black Possibilities. Writing has the incredible ability to help us process our emotions, express ourselves authentically, and create space for healing.

Together, we will tap into the strength of our collective voices, discovering metaphors and narratives that inspire positive change. This informal session creates a supportive and inclusive space for participants to freely express themselves and engage in a dialogue of collective healing and liberation.

This was a 3-part series workshops in partnership with Ujima Fund, Micro-Learning Pods.

n our next Micro-Learning Pod series, we will explore how creativity, imagination, and experimentation can serve as a tool for healing. We will read poems, play games, essays, short videos, and music that demonstrate the transformative power of creativity.

Most importantly, artists will work on their own healing narratives in a supportive workshop environment. This workshop is rooted in the pedagogical and political principles specific to the popular education method developed by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire and later expanded in Augusto Boal’s work in Theatre of the Oppressed.
