I Am the Dream Mina Witteman

14 Black and Brown Girls share their empowering perspectives in stories, memoir pieces, and poems. In its second year in 2022, Write Your Story is an exciting year-long program that brought creative writing masterclasses and artistic mentorship to young women of color, ages 12 to 18, a fabulous collaboration of Cinnamongirl, Inc. and the Bay Area Book Festival. The first cohort of girls spent a year honing their voices, their visions, and their craft, with instruction and encouragement from a faculty of acclaimed women authors of color like Rena Barron, Paulette Boudreaux, Lisa Moore Ramée, Michelle Mush Lee, Deborah Santana, Nikki Shannon Smith, Misa Sugiura, Arisa White, and many others. The girls now present their work to the public in this remarkable inaugural anthology, I AM THE DREAM: Voices of a New Generation.
