Finding Yourself Through Creative Writing with Tran Bao, Founder of WordLust

Finding Yourself Through Creative Writing with Tran Bao, Founder of WordLust

Tran is a proud Saigonese with experiences in performing poetry and leading writing workshops in the US. She is a firm believer in the power of creative writing, poetry in particular, as an accessible tool to build meaningful connection with oneself and the world. She started Wordlust in March 2020 to roll that belief into action - a space where people can explore their truest thoughts and feelings through contemplative and creative practices. Outside of Wordlust, she juggles between being an English teacher, a full-time learner and a forgetful friend.

We discuss Tran's struggle to reconcile two cultures and languages, and how poetry and creative writing has helped her to express herself. We learn more about her creative writing workshop WordLust, how and why she started it, and her vision for the future.
