For our first Third Thursday program of 2026, join WLT for a conversation about how foster and prioritize creativity despite all that would have us despair. During this panel discussion, we’ll dive into sources of inspiration, how to work with and through the challenges of our time, how to tap into networks of support, and more.

During this panel discussion, we’ll dive into sources of inspiration, how to work with and through the challenges of our time, how to tap into networks of support, and more. We’ll be joined for this conversation by three authors—Ashley Robin Franklin, Tayyba Kanwal, & Bo Hee Moon—whose work doesn’t shy away from the challenges of our time, but dares instead to hope for a better tomorrow. Join us for insights you can use to fill your own wells of hope and creativity this year.
