Poetic Justice And Still We Rise

Poetic Justice And Still We Rise is a creative project bringing women together through poetry, spoken word, storytelling and creative writing. The project creates a safe and supportive space for women to share their voices, explore lived experiences and learn from one another.

Open to Global Majority women aged 18+, the project welcomes people with or without previous writing experience. Participants will take part in 10 weekly evening workshops, beginning in October 2026 at the BRIG Café at The Warehouse in Digbeth, Birmingham.

Through workshops with poets, writers and storytellers, participants will have the opportunity to develop their creative work, connect with others and explore experiences of exclusion, oppression, racism, resistance, survival and thriving. Selected work will also be published in the Poetic Justice: And Still We Rise publication, with participants receiving their own copies, alongside the opportunity to contribute to a podcast series connected to the project.

The project is centred on our stories, our words — creating space for voices to be heard, creativity to flourish and experiences to be shared.

Spaces are limited. For more information or to express your interest, contact Shirin Housee or Ruchi Tandon at shigwig0061@gmail.com or ruchitandy@hotmail.com, or call 07786 727182.
