“Mothering, for me, means willpower, fortitude, grit. It is the transcendent power to multiply oneself, succeeded by the supreme humility to serve the second self.”

Lots and lots of terrific ideas here for how to structure creative teaching in ways that are antiracist, pro-human being, and pro-artist.

I particularly liked the ways in which the workshop participants are in charge of their feedback and set the agenda for their conferences. I'm going to be thinking about and coming back to the methods here for a long time.

Felicia Rose Chavez delivers an essential text for any student or educator. While she writes specifically about the writing process, those who seek to untangle our history's long upheld white supremacy in our books, public school curriculums, and academic teaching.
We must amplify this book so as to further our diverse authors' ability to create more and more anti-racists texts in academics and beyond!

Wow. This book is geared toward college workshop professors/facilitators, but so many ideas can be translated into the secondary language arts classroom. Student voice and empowering students through their experiences and writing is the constant theme of this book. Felicia Rose Chavez is vulnerable and unrelenting in her pursuit of an equitable writing classroom, and to encourage others to create the same.

Incredible, so useful, and bringing the same changes I've already started to make to my creative writing classes so much further. If you teach creative writing course you need to read this.
