Prompt of the Week

From Annabel Young, Girls Write Now Fellow

Think back to a time of reciprocity in your life—was it a reciprocal relationship with another person, with your community, with the earth? What made this reciprocity possible, and how can you enact this in future relationships?

We are thrilled to welcome Annabel Young to the Girls Write Now team! Annabel hails from Brooklyn, NY, and she loves to spend her time writing, beading earrings, and watching anime.
