About the event

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH) is proud to present a virtual workshop, “Writing to Heal Historical Trauma,” instructed by WCDH alumna, Dr. Adrienne Danyelle Oliver. This generative multi-genre workshop is for writers of color to write about family or societal histories that disrupt familial and personal peace. The course will be held on Friday, July 7 from 6 to 8 pm (CST). The cost is $35, and all proceeds benefit the WCDH scholarship fund. The workshop is limited to 15 attendees.

Dr. Adrienne Danyelle Oliver is a poet-educator, hip-hop scholar from Little Rock, AR currently living in the SF Bay Area. She enjoys writing about intergenerational healing. She has two chapbooks, collective madness (Finishing Line Press) and the body has memories (Nomadic Press) published, which include these reflections. Part poetry, part memoir, these chapbooks are the beginning of a liberation she hopes to witness among all bodies harboring historical trauma. Some of Adrienne’s favorite authors include Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. When she is not writing, Adrienne leads well-being writing circles for Black writers and curates Black Gold Storytellers, an intergenerational storytelling circle featuring elders who have migrated from the South.
