CHAPTERS Reading, March 2015

Our 2015 CHAPTERS reading series was filled with electrifying, inspirational and fearless performances from our talented mentees and four professional, game-changing women writing today, all surrounding our “Voice To Voice” theme. At our April 2015, special guest speaker Tiphanie Yanique, author of Land of Love and Drowning, joined the stage with our talented teen writers at Scholastic.

In Our Words

Emcees

  • MENNEN ZAW GORDON is an aspiring screenwriter and filmmaker and founder of her own production company Wegugen Ramyun (WR) Productions. She’s currently writing a (not-so) short film called “Dirty Jane” about a group of friends breaking up before they go off to college, and a webseries called “Project Pilot,” with a pilot to a new series every episode.
  • TIFFANI REN plays Quidditch in Central Park, occasionally crochets, and watches literary YouTube adaptations ALL THE TIME— and she’s been a mentee with Girls Write Now for two years! One of her favorite parts of being in the program last year was doing the CHAPTERS reading, because there was just so much unexpected support from this community that night.

Life Resources and Events

At Girls Write Now, we work to challenge and change the systemic racism and inequality by breaking down the barriers of race and poverty to elevate the voices of girls and gender nonconforming youth who are too often not heard—or worse, silenced. From mental and emotional wellness to advocating for racial justice, we are here to support you individually and as a community through our robust programming. Check out our calendar to see our current offerings or visit our Life Resources page to support you during this time.

Girls Write Now Stands in Solidarity with the AAPI Community

At Girls Write Now, we are alarmed and deeply disturbed by the recent incidents of violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders across the country. As ever, we are committed to challenging systemic racism and xenophobia, and standing in solidarity with our community as we process and heal through art and storytelling.

GIVE. WRITE. NOW. And Thank you!!

Girls Write Now’s services are more essential than ever before—serving the hardest hit communities—and many of our young women and gender nonconforming youth have themselves become essential workers to help their families. They carry an enormous burden and face devastating loss, slipping further into poverty. To meet the need, we have enriched and extended our programs, leading the historical transition to virtual learning.
