Tongue & Tree: Finding Your Roots in the Language That Spoke To You

Join us for a transformative six-week writing series that delves into the profound relationship between language and lineage. Every word that shaped your family’s stories holds power:

• Celebrate how your people communicated: From prayers to jokes, arguments to grief, discover the slang unique to your community.
• Explore genealogy through storytelling: Unearth the names and phrases that have become part of your family narrative — the ones that resonate deeply.
• Excavate your voice: Whether you’re a seasoned storyteller or just starting out, you’ll find that your voice is the most vital document in your family's archive.

By the end of this series, you’ll have a personal portfolio of short writings that blend family history with your unique creative expression. This collection will be entirely your own, a testament to where you come from and what you carry with you. Come ready to write and share your journey!
