| VONA Voices of our Nations Arts Foundation was created as a response to the dearth of opportunities for the development of writers-of-color in atmospheres that don't tokenize or marginalize the great traditions of our literature and the talents of our developing writers. Founders Diem Jones, Elmaz Abinader and Junot Diaz, in cooperation with the School of Education at University of San Francisco, designed two weeks of summer writing workshops that nurture the development of writers-of-color. |
