About this event

Join us for a unique writing workshop for BIPOC writers and those curious about writing with Living Hyphen’s Founder Justine Abigail Yu.

For those of us who identify as Indigenous, Black, and/or people of colour, we are asked all too often to default to our stories of hardships, trauma, and oppression. But we are all of that and SO MUCH MORE.

Our stories are beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting, contradictory, and constantly unfolding.

What does it mean to radiate joy? To indulge ourselves in delight?

This virtual writing workshop is an attempt to dip our toes in exactly that.  

No writing experience is necessary. Only an open heart and an open mind with a readiness to give and receive vulnerability.  

We’ve carefully and intentionally designed this workshop to be intimate and jam-packed with writing.

We’ll give you writing prompts to spark your creativity in a safe and positive environment.

All you need is a steady Internet connection to join us online, some paper, and a pen. 

Accessibility:

This session will be recorded and Closed Captions available. 

Those who require additional assistance or support to participate are welcome to send us a request. Please request this assistance at least three days in advance of the event. To do so, or for any additional information please contact accida@brampton.ca

Justine Abigail Yu (she/her) is the founder of Living Hyphen, a community that explores what it means to live in between cultures as a hyphenated Canadian – that is, an individual who calls Canada home but who has roots elsewhere.  

She is an award-winning writing workshop facilitator whose work with Living Hyphen has been featured on international, national, and local media outlets including The Globe & Mail, Yahoo! News, and the CBC. She was also named a "Changemaker" by the Toronto Star in October 2021. 

Justine Abigail is a fierce advocate for equity and anti-oppression. Her mission is to stir the conscience and spur social change. Learn more at www.justineabigail.com and www.livinghyphen.ca.

ABOUT LIVING HYPHEN   

Living Hyphen is a community that explores the experiences of hyphenated Canadians. Through art and writing, we uncover what it means to live in between cultures as individuals who call Canada home but with roots elsewhere.  

We publish a magazine and host a podcast featuring the voices of artists and writers all across Canada. Our stories have even been adapted into a stage play with Canadian Stage as part of their Dream in High Park program. Most importantly, we deliver cultural programming by way of writing workshops and storytelling nights to encourage courageous and tender storytelling within our communities.
