Renee Mitchell is the director of Spitwrite, and calls herself a Creative Revolutionist. She has created a writing program at Roosevelt.  Renee has worked with the students joining us to have them put their experience of shopping while black in writing. They will share both their stories and the writing project that they birthed.
