On Friday, October 27th, while the RWW Writers’ Retreat for Storytellers of Color was in North Carolina, Hurricane Helene struck. It hit us directly. 30 BIPOC writers endured tremendous devastation. 1 of 🧵

Fallen trees demolished some of our cars, landslides obliterated the two roads leading to our retreat space, and flood-saturated earth threatened more landslides. There was no way to walk or drive down or up the mountain. 2 of 🧵

For days, we were trapped without electricity, running water, communication, phone reception, Wi-Fi, etc. We had flashlights, water melted from ice cubes, and food. We were exhausted and dirty. we were trapped and afraid of the unknown. 3 of 🧵

But we survived. Last Sunday, the National Guard airlifted us from the mountain. Everyone who drove had to abandon our cars, and we all abandoned our luggage. We could each only bring one “go bag” onto the chopper. 4 of 🧵

We left the mountain with only essentials (phone, wallet, laptops, etc.). The above captured are Writers’ Retreat for Storytellers of Color attendees, all of whom are writers of color who survived Hurricane Helene with loss of resources. We need your help. 5 of 🧵

Please send aid. Their aid requests and payment methods are listed in each image. Thank you. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼 6 of 🧵

GET READY TO SUBMIT! We’ll be open for Fiction submissions starting January 15! POETRY submissions will open again on April 15, 2024! General CREATIVE NONFICTION submissions will open on May 1! For more information check out our website! Link in bio!
