Damion Sanders, hip-hop artist, poet, freelance writer, published author, former resident of East Flatbush(my neighborhood) and founder of B.K.O.O.L organized a writing workshop for Brooklyn Youth through the generosity of donors, fund raisers and Holy Cross Catholic Church. The event is intended to inspire the community and encourage kids to write about and share the individual experiences of life as they see it, in any form they choose, whether poetry, hip hop or fiction. In each workshop they will be discussing the basics of creative writing, where participants will read and be exposed to one new author each time.

Next Saturday, June 14th is the first day of what will be an ongoing FREE writing workshop for kids ages 12-17 at Holy Cross Catholic Church. This workshop will take place the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month from 12-1:30 PM.

Participants do not need to bring anything but themselves, all materials will be provided! Any questions direct all inquiries to: bkool4life@gmail.com
