"Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labour will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.” —Rumi As I get ready for today’s FREE INTRO to Writing from the Womb I wanted to share love from some of my students. Turn on notifications. I go live at 1:00PM EST (New York), 10:00AM California. 💜 WFW is a workshop series designed to push writers to connect to the heart of their story.

Today we wrote about resistance. Today we wrote about rage. Today we wrote about freedom and liberation. The writers wrote their version of protest songs and prayers for this moment in history. We held space for every black person who has been murdered, violated and oppressed. Luz for their spirits. Today’s theme was RIOTS & FREEDOM 🙏🏾 If black people aren’t free none of us are.

And for the record I AM SELF TAUGHT! I do not have an MFA... what I possess can’t be taught. I was born with it! But I read family. That’s the key—I read. I surrender. I rely on my people to tell me the truth and I am receptive. I trust all that guides me and I am surrounded by a pretty dope ass tribe of Scholars, Womyn WRITERS who push me (and some amazing men) they challenge and encourage me to shine and that is what I will be bringing each and every class! 💋 ... #writingcommunity #writing #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writingfromthewomb #sankofasistercircle #sankofawriters #wocwriters #poetsandwriters #writerslife #writersworkshop #writingchallenge #writers #writingmidwife #Writerspractice #Writersprocess #poetryworkshop #Whyiwrite #writersofinstagram #Poetsofinstagram #photooftheday #quoteoftheday #inspirationalquotes #creativewriting #literature #fiction #poetry #writingfromthewomb #sankofasisterhood #nyclwg #latinawriter #blackwriters (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SQsqvD-t7/?igshid=hmok1a7xat4p

My commitment is contagious! I love that. That’s what I aspire to bring—commitment. That’s what I bring to every class even when shit gets rough in my personal life... I am committed to you and I am always aiming to bring the best version of myself. I ask myself everyday— How can I be better? I ask myself—How can I be great? And then I show up. I show up for you! I show up for me! And I demand that same level of commitment from my students. 💋 ... #writingcommunity #writing #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writingfromthewomb #sankofasistercircle #sankofawriters #wocwriters #poetsandwriters #writerslife #writersworkshop #writingchallenge #writers #writingmidwife #Writerspractice #Writersprocess #poetryworkshop #Whyiwrite #writersofinstagram #Poetsofinstagram #photooftheday #quoteoftheday #inspirationalquotes #creativewriting #literature #fiction #poetry #writingfromthewomb #sankofasisterhood #nyclwg #latinawriter #blackwriters (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SP-3GjNgF/?igshid=c6xubyuylem6

I am very intentional about the writing course I have designed. I am not afraid of change and use new text if my students aren’t feeling what I’m serving. I rarely use the same syllabus twice, especially since many of my students are lifetime members. 😂😭🤣 You still have time to join us. ✍🏾 Jump’ 💋 #writingcommunity #writing #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writingfromthewomb #sankofasistercircle #sankofawriters #wocwriters #poetsandwriters #writerslife #writersworkshop #writingchallenge #writers #writingmidwife #Writerspractice #Writersprocess #poetryworkshop #Whyiwrite #writersofinstagram #Poetsofinstagram #photooftheday #quoteoftheday #inspirationalquotes #creativewriting #literature #fiction #poetry #writingfromthewomb #sankofasisterhood #nyclwg #latinawriter #blackwriters https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SPolZDVY8/?igshid=zvku4b3cozfm
