Actress-writer Deborah Pratt and I have signed on to teach a 5 week creative writing workshop for high school students in Pacoima, CA.
The kids are all good looking and brave. And they each have more responsibility than any teenager should. Some are caring for sick parents. Others have little children of their own. We see them shoulder their responsibilities with courage and grace. Each has a story to tell. It’s our job to help them tell it.
We meet every Tuesday in Pacoima, CA with their independent-studies teacher Barrie Becker and a caring social worker from El Nido Family Centers, one of California’s leading non-profit agencies, dedicated to helping kids flourish and achieve their goals.

What a great way to help share your love of writing! I wish I were there so I could learn from you.
Since the first week attending this Writing Class, i knew it was going to be a fun class, and it is. The teachers are Amazing and so are the people in it, we all have a different story and that's what makes it even more interesting.Can't wait for tomorro's Class.

This is Deborah Pratt and working with these amazing young writers has been a gift. Their courage and the power of their inner light, tells me anything they decide to do they can achieve. Desire and Passion to create and achieve are the first keys.
