Join us Friday, June 12th, @6PM EST for the culmination of our Graduation Week: a virtual Graduation Gala celebrating the class of 2020! As we look to the future, we find ourselves asking “Where do we go from here?”. Our mentees may face an uncertain future—in this moment, we all do—but we know they’ll meet it with confidence, resilience, and the lifelong support of the Girls Write Now community.
The show, hosted by co-emcees Mira Jacob, author of Good Talk and Romaissaa Benzizoune, a Girls Write Now mentee alum and recent NYU graduate, will include:
• a headline commencement speech from Girls Write Now’s Honorary Board Member Tayari Jones, bestselling author of An American Marriage• a stellar lineup of special guests including Isabel Allende, Rachel Bloom, Rachel Cargle, Veronica Chambers, Tiffany D Cross, Roxane Gay, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Abbi Jacobson, Jodi Kantor, Rupi Kaur, Lily King, Min Jin Lee, Emma Roberts + Karah Priess, Jia Tolentino, Reneé Watson, and more.
• moving performances of original work by our senior mentees
• a heartwarming evening full of hope for everyone who tunes in!
