Through support from Inprint, Ms. Bry and Ryler Dustin lead a writing workshop for grade school students at Project Row Houses. This is an amalgamation of our voices and ideas as we walk the Project Row Houses premises. The contributing students are: Johanna, Jhsai, Daniel, Yunus, Ronald, Zaria, Warren, Audra, Jahina, Kenyana, Jessani

Ryler Dustin teaches creative writing for Inprint at Project Row Houses. A graduate of the University of Houston's MFA program, he teaches writing to adults and youth through Inprint and Writers in the Schools. He has been a winner of the Inprint Paul Verlaine Poetry Prize, a finalist for the 2011 Ruth Lilly Prize, and a finalist in the Individual World Poetry Slam. His book, Heavy Lead Birdsong, is available from the press Write Bloody.

Bryanda Minix was directed to Project Row Houses by a professor, as part of a class assignment.  She started out as a volunteer with the After School Program.  At the end of the semester, she received not only an A on the assignment, but a job offer as well. Ms. Bry, as she is now affectionately known, has served PRH in various roles ever since, including: Group Leader, Art Instructor, Drama Instructor, and Creative Writing Instructor (Teen Program).  She understands that what began as a learning experience, continues to be.  She learned a great deal from both Ryler Dustin and her students; she learned how art can transform communities; and she learned the benefits of walking: reconnecting to familiar places and discovering new things.  You may find Ms. Bry riding her bike in Third Ward and throughout "Our Houston".
