All are welcome to join Julio Enríquez-Ornelas for this interactive creative writing workshop, moderated by Dr. Xiomara Verenice Cervantes-Gómez. Enríquez-Ornelas will share excerpts from his book, The Children of the Damned One. Join the author and share how his writing is rooted in storytelling found in U.S and Mexican communities, family, memory, trauma and literary forms. Then, those who are interested in writing can participate and become the creators of fiction rooted in their narratives. In this workshop, all participants will need a paper, writing utensil, or an active listener. The goal is to experience a sense of empowerment from the act of storytelling be it in written or oral tradition within your community.
