Created by Author, Writing Coach, and Editor-in-Chief of Spoken Black Girl Magazine, Rowana Abbensetts-Dobson, The Write Heal Thrive Collective is a membership community designed to keep Black women writing and healing through every season of our lives. This is a space for ambitious Black women writers and multifaceted creatives. We are conscious of neurodiversity, and aim to offer a holistic approach to thriving as a creative by consulting with a team of qualified professionals for workshops, speaking engagements, and media that empowers the collective in a safe, inclusive space.

It's so easy to fall through the cracks and stop believing in yourself as a creative. Through her own personal struggles with anxiety and depression, Spoken Black Girl understands that healing is not linear, but it is a journey that's easier with the support of a community.

That's why the Write Heal Thrive Collective was created - to be your safe space when you have nowhere else to turn, to remind you of your brilliance when you forget, and to surround and uplift you in loving support through the good times and the bad. We mentor emerging writers, host wellness experts, curate networking opportunities, honing our craft through inspirational writing workshops, allowing everyone to develop their craft, and showcase their gifts to the group.

Come write with us! The Write Heal Thrive Collective is more than just a writing group; it is a sanctuary for growth, resilience, and empowerment.
