Mission:

WRITE THIS SECOND’s Mission: Lead transformative workshops to facilitate community empowerment; from poetry to embbodi retreats and beyond, at WRITE THIS SECOND we bear witness to our lives as an act of reclamation, to cultivate emotional evolution and a self-acceptance revolution.

We write to reclaim life
to recover consciousness
to resist feelings of unworthiness
to understand ourselves
to define ourselves

We write to understand the difference
between what forms our anger
and what ties our tongues

Her book, Write This Second: A Poetic Memoir, is a truth-telling, visceral story of survival and an urgent, triumphant call to break the silence impacting generations of survivors. Ms. Kira’s goal in bearing witness to her own traumas and triumphs is to cultivate sacred creative spaces that empower and inspire her community. She is a VONA Voices Fellow, a Poetry for the People alumna, and a contributor to All the Women in My Family Sing, Tayo Literary Magazine, and Endangered Species, Enduring Values. She has a BA in Creative Writing from Mills College and an MA in Transformative Arts from JFK University.
