“Our pain is our power. Our beauty is our story.”
At The Word on the Street, stories have the power to spark change. Led by Toronto’s first Youth Poet Laureate, Shahaddah Jack, this interactive, all-ages workshop invites you to write your truth and weave it into a powerful collective piece: The People’s Poem.
Through short, high-energy writing prompts, open sharing, and group creativity, participants will transform personal stories into a shared vision for peace, justice, and belonging. Whether you’re a first-time writer, a seasoned poet, or just curious, this is your space to speak up, be heard, and leave your mark on the festival.
Presented with the City of Toronto.
