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.

TRADING THE SPEAR FOR THE PEN -Jackie Tajiri



Nature is awe - inspiring!  It moves, it destroys and heals.  Behold, the animals!  Be it domestic cat, or a stalking jaguar, there is something otherworldly about them.  My work reflects a desire, not to understand the flora and fauna, but to ‘capture’ it in ink and then release them through words. 
“Through images and the written word, I embark on a journey of spiritual and natural wonder. Ever curious.  Ever exploring.”
