Articulation is Power

Articulation is Power creates space in school settings for students to safely engage in exploration and articulation of their histories and narratives. Our process begins with decolonizing students’ understanding of narrative, storytelling, and literature. After this is established, participants will begin building a new foundation and relationship with narrative and literature, centering their experiences at the heart of the created material. Culminating in a published volume of student work. Lastly, students will acquire an entrepreneurial understanding of independent publishing through relationships with creative mentors who have successfully navigated the publishing industry.
