This is an ongoing class--feel free to join in at any time for as many weeks as you like. 
In this ongoing class, students will meet and share their creative writing projects for guidance and support.  Activities will include peer review, teacher feedback, as well as instruction and support in various styles and genres of creative writing.  Whatever part of the process you are in with your writing, this class can inspire and encourage you.  We will have weekly in class exercises to build creative writing skills, as well as opportunities to share your projects with the class and/or the teacher.  Weekly writing topics and focus genres will guide, but not limit our discussion.

Hi! I’m Karimah. I’m a mom of four, global citizen, ardent traveler, and communications specialist of 25 years. I’m originally from Alabama but call Raleigh, NC home for now. I’ve spent 15 years traveling and working abroad, primarily in journalism, communications, and marketing. Among the many roles I’ve assumed, I’ve worked as a teacher, AP teacher, university instructor, coach, trainer, consultant, curriculum developer, and evaluator.

It goes without saying that my professional passion is helping others effectively communicate – whether through a speech, essay, presentation, or ad. My methodology springs from a singular truth; great communication is about understanding the motivations of the receiver and what you want the end result to be. Once you’re able to understand that, everything else will fall into place!

I’ve had immense fun seeing my students bloom into effective communicators. When it “clicks”, there’s an excitement in their eyes, which I look forward to seeing in each of my students’ eyes here!
