A space where overlooked people are heard

Here’s a quote from today’s writing group:

I love this class and look forward to it every week. [Everyone feels] so comfortable and therefore people feel free to share different thoughts and ideas. I have been exposed to different ideas and different writing styles.

Homeless and non-homeless, rich and poor, racially diverse, politically diverse — we gathered, paused, wrote, and noticed. We honored one another’s voices, applauded for those who are never applauded. It’s a space where often overlooked people are heard, taken seriously, and given dignity. Beautiful! Here are today’s writing prompts.
