"I'm a pediatric nurse & it's a job I love, but it's never been easy for me to toggle between caring for patients & caring for my poetry. Time to read & write & dream in residency in the Writer's Room at the Betsy-South Beach helped me recalibrate the balance between the two callings of my life."

"SWWIM offered a restorative space for breath and introspection. While I appreciated prioritizing writing and revision that I often put off in this busy world as a working artist, I had the opportunity to reassemble myself and revisit my goals. This, too, is necessary work." -Krysten Hill / Support SWWIM on Give Miami Day! Link to donate in bio.
