"Independiente y Visible: Reclaiming Narratives of First-Gen Latinos" is an immersive writing workshop designed for storytellers who wish to explore and celebrate the rich, complex experiences of first-generation Latinos. Drawing inspiration from the resonant "Mi Hija Es Muy Independiente" TikTok trend, this workshop offers a unique space for writers to delve into themes of cultural identity, independence, and intergenerational resilience. Through engaging writing prompts, reflective discussions, and the sharing of personal narratives, participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, crafting stories that illuminate the nuanced realities of navigating two worlds. Join us in a celebration of voice, visibility, and the power of storytelling to connect and heal.
