Writing Our Stories
Welcome! We're so excited to welcome your teen to the inaugural Liberando Studio Series.
Writing Our Stories is a six-week creative writing and arts experience designed for middle school girls in grades 6–8. Hosted in partnership with The Creative Place in San Leandro, this series invites girls into a small, welcoming creative community where they can write, create, connect, and celebrate their unique voices.
Together, we'll explore themes of identity, family, voice, culture, courage, and dreams for the future through creative writing, art, conversation, and joyful collaboration.
No previous writing or art experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to create.
