No writing experience required! Led by a Write Around Portland volunteer facilitator of color, Resonate consists of writing, sharing, and giving strengths-based feedback to each other. (Sharing is optional!)
Find your Community
Resonate sessions give plenty of opportunity to listen to others’ stories. Many folks return week after week for a space to unwind and decompress. Resonate is an opportunity to build genuine ties and connection within our community of color.
