We are very excited to introduce our new executive director, Dr. Amber Epps! 🥳🎉 Amber is a teacher and an artist, a visionary leader and a get-your-hands-dirty kind of team member—we are so lucky to have her as part of the Write Pittsburgh community!
Colorful, abstract shapes and squiggles on a white background. Color photo of Amber, wearing a black floral dress and looking away from the camera with a pleasant expression on her face. Text reads: Meet Amber. Executive Director. Dr. Amber Epps is an artist, writer, DJ, professor, nonprofit leader, and (nearly) lifelong resident of Penn Hills. Amber's experience as a leader in local organizations like the Bloomfield-Garfield Corporation, Protohaven, and Omicelo Cares means that she's ready to guide Write Pittsburgh into the future.

Did you know that @Schereeya is a published poet and multi-disciplinary artist? Check out his poetry collection "Prayers & Pixies" at redhawkpublications.com/Poet…
Cartoonish Pittsburgh skyline foregrounded by a city park scene. A bright blue sky dominated the image. Cutout photograph of Schereéya, wearing a dark blue shirt and floral tie, smiling at the camera. Schereéya is a black man with teal green hair. Text: About your facilitator. Schereéya is a multi-disciplinary artist, advocate, and fulltime fae (with a day job in business development). Currently based in Pittsburgh, Schereeya's practice focuses on freedom: Freedom of play, of joy, of magic and whimsy, of the ability to know oneself. "The act of Knowing myself helps me liberate myself from others' expectations. Knowing is an ongoing process, and it takes practice and exploration. That's what my work is-the practice of self-exploration."
