You & Your Write Mind: Navigating Identities
Mohammedi Khan & Janay Moore
This workshop will be focused on navigating and deciphering your identity(s) in places where you are on the margins. The framework for this workshop will be based upon the newly piloted curriculum from the Loyola-credited course, 'You & Your Write Mind', currently being instructed by two Loyola women of color alumnae. The workshop (as the course does), will strive to educate students, especially those belonging to marginalized identities, on utilizing different writing typologies as a skill for critical analysis of the 'self', and lifelong textual expression. This workshop will be content-based and interactive where attendees will have a chance to utilize and work through different diagrams designed by the workshop presenters that correlate with their identities and coinciding fluctuating mental states of being. This workshop will bring to light the much-needed conversation regarding different faces of mental health on college campuses.
