Decoding Voice: What do they mean by “voice?” And how can you find the “voice” in your writing? Great questions. The workshop presentation by Saba Sulaiman at our March 1st Chapter meeting will help decode the mystery of voice. In this presentation, she will talk about what it means to have a strong voice. Saba will tell you how to identify voice, show you ways to make it authentic and develop the strength of one’s own voice. This years DEI Grant winners will be announced.
