Excerpt from Show

Meenoo Rami on starting #engchat:

I didn't want to wait for somebody else to do this and then maybe I'd help. I think that is something that comes from being around inspirational people and I think it comes from having a community like the Philadelphia Writing Project and the National Writing Project, sort of saying, like, 'Yes, think deeply about your practice; what is it that you would like to do, what is it that you are interested in looking more into?' And I think that certainly helped, it really was a tipping point for me.
