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.

IS SHE... by Therese Staples Burton

Is she...
One step from the edge
Poised on the precipice
Ready to take on death

Is she...
Drinking in the Sweet
Breath of caressing wind
Rejuvenating her soul
Inhaling 

Is she...
Dancing with desperation
Catapulting into diving

Is she...
Soaring above all 
Singing Ecstatic rhythms
