826LA@Hammer: Pitch and Write! My First Opinion Piece: A Workshop for Kids Who Have Something to Say
Hone your writing skills into an op-ed format and establish an authoritative voice that demands attention. With so much proverbial noise from AI generated content, bots, and constant social media chatter, knowing how to think critically and communicate clearly and from the heart will be the secret weapon for the leaders of tomorrow.
Led by Ralinda Harvey Smith, a writer whose opinions and essays have been published in Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Huffington Post. Her upcoming gift book Free Pass to Order Pizza for the Kids, published by Chronicle Books, is due to be released this fall.
