Know Your WHY

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WHY, YOUR WHAT BECOMES MORE IMPACTFUL BECAUSE YOU'RE WALKING TOWARD OR IN YOUR PURPOSE. ~Comedian Michael Jr.
TEEN WRITERS ARE OUR WHY
Although I started writing when I was nine-years old, I was in my 30s before my dreams to become a writer were actualized because until then, I didn't know how to become a writer. In school, I was steered toward becoming a teacher, nurse, secretary or housewife, neither of which interested me at the time. I've always imagined that if I had someone to show me how and tell me what and guide me where, I would have been walking in or toward my purpose sooner.

As an adult writer with a thriving career as a writer, then a teacher, I am fueled by a spark to kick-start the writing careers of as many teens as I can. I vowed that, if I can help it, no other teen will want to become a writer and not know how to get there and stay there. The #TeenWritersProject is my promise to provide space for teens around the world to
channel their vulnerabilities and tell real stories that matter to them, their world and the entire world.

WHO WE WRITE WITH
We serve a culturally and educationally diverse community of teens:
  • 80% teens of color
  • 85% high need
  • 75% immigrant or first generation
  • 45% LGBTQ+
This way, we help teens transform storytelling with words and art into stories that they want to read. And, through partnerships with schools, businesses, the community, we give them a platform to discover their unique place in the world, sound their voices through the power of writing and connect with their tribe through collaboration.

WHO WE ARE
#TeenWritersProject is a Dallas-based nonprofit 501(c) organization committed to making writing accessible, engaging and fun for teens, especially those in vulnerable populations, by establishing a collaborative and engaging space for them to write.
