Atrium School Presents “Voices & Vignettes”: An Evening with Award-Winning Author Jennifer De Leon
Public event on December 4 showcasing Boston-area writer-educators, and storyteller Jennifer De Leon in an evening of readings and conversation.

WATERTOWN, MA – Atrium School’s BIPOC Leader Series will host “Voices & Vignettes,” an evening of powerful storytelling from Jennifer De Leon alongside educators from Atrium School’s Summer Writing Fellowship. The event will take place on Friday, December 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Atrium School in Watertown.

The evening program highlights original work by Boston-area teacher-writers of color and features a keynote program by De Leon – a nationally recognized speaker, educator, and author of young adult novels Borderless and Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From, as well as the essay collection White Space: Essays on Culture, Race, & Writing.

Through an immersive summer workshop, Atrium's Writing Fellowship for Educators of Color brings teachers together to develop their voices as writers and reflect in community on their lives as educators. 

“Now more than ever, we need to listen deeply to the perspectives and experiences of educators. Come be inspired by their memoirs and by the powerful words of author Jennifer De Leon.”
