The Bronx Writes Back: The Cradle to Pr*son Pipeline Book Launch

The Bronx Writes Back: Cradle to Pr*son Pipeline is an anthology of stories, visual art, and poems written by and for Bronx youth. Each storyteller has experienced the pipeline differently: some have been arrested, others grew up in foster care, witnessed familial violence, or felt unsupported at school. The common thread is that each of these amazing storytellers is a survivor of cycles they should never have been through in the first place.

Join us for a healing justice art show and meaningful panel discussion among the writers, moderated by Orayne Williams (Director of Adolescent Defense Project at The Bronx Defenders). All attendees will receive a free copy of The Bronx Writes Back: Cradle to Pr*son Pipeline.

Bear witness as these storytellers reclaim their narratives and tell their stories in their own words.

This event is hosted by the Bronx Leadership & Organizing Center (BLOC), a partnership that seeks to promote leaders to change the conversation around social and economic mobility in the Bronx. Follow the BLOC on instagram for updates and future events.
