Next Draw Your (S)words Spoken Word Event 5th November.
Our Story
Draw Your (S)words was co-founded by Poet Wallis Prophet when they realised there wasn’t a space for young queer writers to share and connect. Fast forward and we have expanded and evolved into Community ArtReach - Wallis and their team set out to create an environment without the added pressures of judgement, ‘imposter syndrome’ or writer’s block. Organically our creative writing workshops and mentoring have brought together a community of like-minded writers (of all levels) to share their stories and experience the cathartic release that poetry can provide.
About our Founder
Howdy everyone! My name is Wallis Prophet, I’m the founder of Community ArtReach.
Beyond my role as a proud writer, my professional journey encompasses significant experience in mental health support. This background has deeply influenced my commitment to the transformative power of words, recognising their profound impact on individual and community wellbeing.
My advocacy extends beyond the realm of creative writing; I am also a passionate activist for social justice. Community ArtReach is a culmination of these diverse experiences, providing a space where creativity flourishes, voices resonate, and individuals find solace and support for their artistic endeavours.
I am dedicated to introducing Community ArtReach and the power of words for writers of all abilities. I invite you to join us in this journey of artistic exploration, growth, and empowerment.
