The Writer’s Nest

When:  Mar 12, 2026 from 01:00 PM to 03:00 PM (ET)
The Association is continue our NWSA Writer’s Nest, which we first introduced at our 2025 annual convening! Inspired by the tradition of women of color feminisms, we aim to honor writing our stories and ourselves as a practice of acceptance and feminist world-building. We evoke Toni Cade Bambara’s loving practice of signing her letters “TCB”—a play on the letters of her name and a reminder to take care of [our] blessings —in designing pockets of time to do just that - to invite us to redesign our relationship to writing (whether that be reflexive work, scholarly drafts towards publication, or poetic crafting) where the expectation to produce does not eclipse how, as Gloria Anzaldúa’ asserts, “the world [we] create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give [us]”.
And so, we offer our NWSA Writing Nest as a space for dedicated time to write from and through the intersections of our socio-political and reclaimed identities, nurture the creative power that emerges from nepantla—the in-between — and recommit ourselves to Adrienne Rich’s call to “re-vision” ourselves as authors, creatives, radicals, and disruptors willing to rise to the “challenge and promise of a whole new psychic geography to be explored” when we pour into our collective honour song.
Come for resources, guided writing prompts and invitations, and grounding discussion!
