Fun fact: The Pop-Up Care Shop was founded by two writers! We actually met at a conference for writers and creatives, and for years we’ve wanted to bring that part of our lives into our work. We’re so excited to finally introduce The Write Kind of Care—a fundraiser workshop series featuring virtual and in-person writing experiences centered on community care.

On Saturday, July 25, we’re launching the series with our first workshop: Writing as Care. In this virtual workshop, we’ll explore the many ways writing can help us care for ourselves and our communities. Together, we’ll read excerpts from published poems, essays, and articles, then create our own pieces through guided writing prompts.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or simply looking for a new way to express yourself, you’re welcome here. This will be a low-pressure, intimate space designed for meaningful conversation, creativity, and connection.

The workshop will be led by our co-founder, published author, and writer Kadia Blagrove. For more than a decade, Kadia has used the power of storytelling to help brands, artists, and professionals connect with their audiences. Her work has been featured in HuffPost, Jezebel, Cosmopolitan, Bustle, Complex, and more.
