One-Time Generative Writing Workshop
Class Description
It’s My Body and I’ll ______ If I Want To is a generative workshop on reclaiming bodily autonomy through poetry. In this session, we’ll explore the right to choose—whether to participate, to celebrate, or to abstain—without shame. We’ll redefine pleasure, pride, and boundaries, pushing back against societal norms that try to dictate our bodies' possibilities. Through a series of prompts, we’ll use poetry as a way to revel, resist, and rewrite our narratives on our own terms.
