SPARKSHOP: Explore your Divine Self: Ekphrastic Writing through Art, Music & Photography with Joni $30
For women of all ages who are open to exploring the multi-disciplinary arts of seeing, hearing, listening, and writing in a creative, welcoming, and supportive space. And for those looking for creative tools for self-care and healing emotional deregulation and loss.
Joan Daidone is a creative activist, writer, and curator living in Harlem/Hamilton Heights.

An ESL Writing Tutor and Mentor, she works with immigrants from over 26 countries. Leaving the corporate world and never looking back, she focuses on her lifelong passions: community activism, storytelling, skill-sharing, mentoring, and singing in a choir.. Upcoming publications include "Art Brut, Words Raw", "My Women, My Tribe", “What Love Is”, “I Rap with A Paintbrush”, a celebration of Black American composers, collaboration with artist Anthony Newton and music educator and performance artist Kevin McNeal.
