Join Ashanti Files, Urbana’s 2021 Poet Laureate and Founder of Writers of Oya, for an interactive discussion about her personal story, writing journey, and how she uses writing as a tool for restoration and care. Participants will be invited to participate in a writing exercise, and are asked to come with a writing utensil and paper, a piece of fruit or candy, and an energetic open mind.
