MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

COMING by Kelly Greenwood


My self-esteem is growing
this thing about sexual healing
this is an awakening
I need to be dancing, I should be swimming
my star is rising
I feel myself coming
deeper moaning again and again
flesh catches fire
my spirit sprouts wings
singes the tips like heat
steady the flight
like riding a bike
you never forget how to walk
when you're running
