Girls Club + CWBH staff member Lacresha Berry, featured in Publisher’s Weekly, speaking on literacy and her approach to teaching poetry and writing.

“And she’ll be there to champion her girls as they continue to develop as young poets and women. “I want to be the adult who says, ‘You are a work in progress, and you’ll continue to grow and to learn more about yourself as you get older,’ ” Berry said. “That’s how the Page to the Stage program works, too. You have a first draft, a second draft, a third draft, and you keep refining because you keep learning new things. I want to be the adult who says, ‘Be free: there is liberation in your pen.’ ”
