​Our work centers publishing, learner voice, and community reinvestment through books, practitioner guides, studio-based literacy frameworks, and cultural production

​​

 

Poet Talks & Engagements

​​

Poetry-based conversations led by Dr. Diedra Price for universities, cultural institutions, and organizations. Through original poetic work, these talks explore love and intimacy, liberation and resistance, cultural identity, equity and justice, cultural meaning-making, and challenge imposed beauty standards.

​​​

Sugar Uncoated™ Youth Press

​​​

Publishing platforms that apply Sugar Uncoated™ Publishing-Based Literacy in partnership with educators and schools—positioning learners as authors of poetry, stories, and creative works rooted in lived experience.

​​​

Publishing & Selected Works

​​​

Original poetry and practitioner texts that anchor the Sugar Uncoated™ uni-verse and support educators, institutions, and communities.

​​​​

Community Partnerships & Reinvestment

​​​

Values-aligned partnerships that reinvest resources into learner authorship, cultural programming, and self-determined under-resourced communities.

​​​​​​​​

THE SUGAR UNCOATED™ METHOD

​​​

The Sugar Uncoated™ method is rooted in speaking truth to untruth and honoring cultural integrity.

​​​

Through poetry, literature, music, and the arts, WE Publishing centers authorship as a literacy practice—where learners write, revise, publish, and produce work that reflects who they are and how they understand the world.

​​​

This is not a curriculum.

​​

It is a published literacy method adopted and stewarded by educators, schools, and organizations.
