About Us
Nido Poetry Collective is a collaborative created for women of color poets to:
read and reflect on poetry written by women of color
participate in writing workshops and generate new poetry
build community and center space with our identities as women of color
Our Mission
The mission of Nido Poets is to create spaces where women of color writers can connect through poetry. We create these spaces in our workshops, special events, and our Nido Poetry Journal.
We exist to create community, connection, and understanding for diverse women of color where we can freely express ourselves, our experiences, and our poems in an accepting and affirming space.
Who are we as women of color poets?
Women of color generally have origins in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Latin America, and the Indigenous Americas. We have diverse identities and are connected through our experiences and histories. As poets in this space, we proudly share, uplift, and embrace our diverse identities.
“Nido” means “nest” in Spanish. This collective exists to be an anchor, an abode to us women who are in need of a space of our own to generate, reflect, and share in community.
