Mixing Roots Workshop with Warda Yassin

Squad8 grad Warda Yassin  will be leading a workshop for girls and young women aged 14-30 exploring their heritage or celebrating the richness of having more than one culture for HIVE South Yorkshire.

Mixing Roots is a summer project bringing together girls & young women from different backgrounds & cultures in a supportive space to talk, share & write about everything from the roots we come from & what has been passed down to us, to who we are today.

A writer & teacher Warda will offer fun ways to share & write. It will end with a celebration & publication launch at Off the Shelf Festival of Words in the autumn.

Mixing Roots is aimed at those new to a writing group, no experience is needed & all levels are welcome. Mixing Eoots is particularly keen to encourage women of colour from any or no faith, and those who might not feel very confident but want to try something new & creative.
