Telling Our Stories - Securing Our Legacy



The Women of Color Writers Firmly Believes That
✦ Women of Color have important stories to tell.
✦ WOC Writers’ voices are far too often unheard, under-represented, and undervalued in the literary world.
✦ WOC Writers must believe in their ability to create art, take risk, build self-confidence, and trust their writing voices.
✦ Writers write! WOC Writers must nourish and practice the craft of writing ~ enrich and include our legacy in the annals of literature.
✦We must recognize our writing as important to the world of art and history ~ We must believe
in it.
