what people are saying...
“Comfortable setting (professional, yet not stuffy). Positive vibes all around! Everyone made new friends, invaluable connections for life, and parted ways with more knowledge than we came with. It was such an unprecedented and beautiful thing to see and be surrounded by all these incredible Black women writers.
Our community is relatively small, but strong.”

“Very well planned and the execution was EVERYTHING! My expectations were exceeded and then some.”
— JaLeesa, retreat attendee
“Organized, professional, and full of invaluable information for authors. I got more than my money’s worth.”
— Jasmyn, retreat attendee
“I had an amazing time in Miami speaking at the Black Girls Who Write retreat. It was beautiful to see so many women of color who are authors or soon to be authors. I was happy to share my knowledge that I had to help the next person out. It’s all about sending the ladder back down.”
— Dominique Penn, Workshop Host, Entrepreneur, + Influencer
