Nakara Forjé’s Writing Workshop:

“Music is my Love Language” explores music as a tool to understand how we love and who we are. Using music (mine and others), writing lyrics and candid community dialogue, participants walk away empowered and with an enlightened perspective on themselves and how they show up based on the music that moves them.
