Diversity and Inclusion with Firefly Creative Writing (episode 7)

Design's origins stem from creative practices like the arts, music and writing. In this episode, we explore creative writing practice by interviewing two coaches from Firefly Creative Writing. Firefly Creative Writing helps people reconnect to the pleasure and power of writing through workshops, coaching and snail mail, online and in-person.Writing coaches, Kim and Mary, share their personal journeys with writing, their experiences with coaching, and most importantly, how they create diverse and inclusive spaces for writing together with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) communities. Lessons learned, such as the need for BIPOC programming to be led and owned by BIPOC identifying individuals and the concept of a "spectrum of safety and freedom", could be applied to organizations working on enhancing their equity, diversity and inclusion.
