Handlettering Workshop by Delaina

Today Delaina led us through a handlettering workshop and it was so fun! We got to learn how to take our everyday handwriting and turn it into art! Thank you Delaina for leading us through your workshop!

Writing Workshop

Jessica led the Interns through a writing workshop about personal narratives. We learned about the power of our stories and how to craft them through different activities. In one of our activities, we all wrote a story based on our different ideas and sentences. We would all pass around a paper with a short sentence and try to make a story out of it. Thank you Jessica.

Thank so much Jessica Rivera, another one of our interns, for taking these pictures.

Progress Over Perfection Workshop

With Sarah from the non-profit, Yo Soy Ella, the interns learned about the value of overcoming perfectionism. They talked about their experiences with perfectionism and discussed ways to conquer it, such as switching to a growth mindset. Thank you Sarah for guiding us towards becoming comfortable with imperfection!

Peace Garden Cleanup

The Interns put their photography and film skills to the test at Maywood’s Peace Garden, created by Barbra Cole. They captured the hard work of the community as they worked to restore the Peace Garden for summer. The Interns also tracked the progress of a potential mural collaboration with the Firehouse! Thank you Ms. Cole for the invitation!

Thank you Mariah, our Intern, for taking these magnificent pictures!

CONTENT CREATION WORKSHOP

Last weekend, Karina, our board member led the interns through a workshop on how to create content for different platforms. They also got to learn how to price themselves in a way that they can be profitable as they start their businesses.

Thanks Karina for coming to TFD and sharing your wisdom!
