our mission:
The mission of ForWord Girls is to create a space/event for women writers and spoken word performers of all cultures and ages from all over. We want to come together and hear, teach, entertain and inspire each other. We want to share information about how we utilize the power of the word. We want to recognize, sustain and further envision a movement of girls who feel excited, skilled and unrestricted about using our voices as a force for self-expression, social change, and everything else we see fit to speak about.
