RAWI Storyteller Series

Join us for RAWI Storyteller Series: a dedicated virtual space to write, share, and be in conversation with other Arab American and SWANA writers. In these sessions, we’ll work with prompts and lived experience to explore the range of our voices. 

The RAWI Storyteller Series is free with registration. A Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants before the event.
