Spoken word artist, motivational speaker, and community organizer Desirae “The Silent Poet” Hosley has created a community called Social Therapy where young adults and adults come together to bridge the social gap in the new, pandemic-world through writing and storytelling. In this iteration, Social Therapy: Broken Mirror Project, we will uplift personal narratives and creative expression to connect and create journals using broken mirrors as a metaphor for how we define ourselves. A multi-generational space for collective reflection, writing, and sharing, the series will run over the course of 6 sessions throughout three months, on first and third Saturdays.

Social Therapy is made possible by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund.
