Our Mission
Inclusive Ink's mission is to promote literacy, diversity, and inclusion through student writing and journalism education. We empower students in the Texan community by providing a platform to publish their work, hosting workshops led by professional writers to develop journalism skills, and encouraging youth to embrace representation of marginalized voices in literature and media.
In an era of book bans and declining literacy rates, with 54% of Houston fourth graders scoring a zero on the written portion of the online STAAR test last year compared to only 5% in 2021, Inclusive Ink aims to uplift young voices, celebrate diversity in storytelling, and inspire the next generation of inclusive writers and journalists.
