Supporters old and new gathered at the elegant Marvin Bar and Bistro in Northwest DC on March 25th, to learn more about the work of Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop. Guests loved the delicious soul food appetizers generously donated by Marvin, but more than anything they enjoyed the chance to meet Free Minds members themselves.

DrewLeft: Drew Williams shares his success story with the Marvin crowd. At the age of 17, Drew was incarcerated on robbery charges. Now 22, Drew has his GED and recently graduated from barber school. He has a full-time job cutting hair for a large and loyal clientele at a shop in NE DC. Drew plans to go to college and study business, and eventually open his own barbershop.

They came to spread the word about Free Minds and also to share their poems and stories, which were met with great acclaim.
