The Word, A Storytelling Sanctuary

The Word is a nonprofit organization that fights for cultural equity through the literary arts—so that individuals from across races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, national origins, religions, ethnicities, and abilities can have equal access to the freedom and necessary resources to share their own stories. We must be known, to ourselves and others, to shape our own presence in this society.
