Where It Started
In the beginning, I often found myself in spaces where I was the only with brown skin or the only one wearing a scarf.
The longing for a group where we could talk about the inner conflict that held me back from writing became overwhelming and I decided to ask if anyone felt like I did.
A Shared Struggle
When I asked if anyone else felt the same, the answers came quickly. Yes. Me too.

We all carried doubts about whether our stories mattered, and we all knew what it felt like to be overlooked.
Our Beginning Together
That shared “yes” was the beginning of the Wordsmiths Guild.
A space born from solidarity, built on courage, and carried forward by the voices of every writer who joins.
