🧠 What Is Urban Haiku?

Urban Haiku is more than a writing platform — it’s a creative revolution. Founded with the intent to uplift the voices of the global majority, we offer inclusive, accessible, decolonized writing spaces for storytellers who have long been pushed to the margins.

We teach the craft, yes — but more than that, we dismantle barriers, challenge the norms, and nurture collective power in a space that actively decenters whiteness and colonial writing practices.

This free info session is your chance to see for yourself what makes us different, and why so many writers have called this community home.

🗣️ What to Expect in the Info Session

• Meet the Founders and Faculty
  Hear from Anya Pearson, award-winning playwright, poet, and activist, alongside guest voices from our student community and teaching collaborators.
