Grande said, “Have you been wanting to write about your immigrant experiences? Then this is the workshop for you! Through in-class writing activities, group readings, and a discussion on craft, you will get a chance to write the stories you need to tell. Come prepared to write, share and celebrate!”
The California Humanities Library Innovation Lab in partnership with the Sonoma County Library Adult Literacy Program are also creating an anthology entitled “Arrivals and Departures.” This collection will feature stories of immigrants throughout Sonoma County and highlight their experience in their own words.
Share your story about leaving your home country and seeking your future in the United States. Submissions are accepted in written and oral form and are due by September 30. Visit sonomalibrary.org/arrivals-departures to learn more.
