Launched in Oakland in 2008 on a simple conviction: that everyone has a story worth telling — and the power to tell it in their own voice.

Signature practice
Write to Heal
Some medicine is prescribed to us. Some we practice ourselves — and for many of us, writing is exactly that.
Write to Heal gathers us in a circle to put our hardest experiences into words — and to be witnessed, without judgment or fixing, while we do.
“It is in this space when group members connect, realize they are not alone, remember we all have similar struggles. This is when the healing happens. Write to Heal was the lifeline I needed.”

Not greeting-card love — radical love. The kind that shows up in the streets and at kitchen tables. Wearable dichos rooted in AfroChicano, Black, and Brown liberation, anchored in a simple conviction: resistance is always about love.
