I legit expected a "no white men allowed" disclaimer at the end.

Don't go, anon. They look like the kind of people who write about "being a POC in the modern world" and "how difficult it is being the 99% in a capitalist society".

I don't think they'd appreciate anyone who hangs around /lit/ joining their group. You're better than that, anon. If you want to join a writing circle, find one with older people in it.

But often, I think that we look at the academic problems of poverty and have no idea of the why. We know the what and the how, and we can see systemic problems, but it's rare to have a poor person actually explain it on their own behalf. So this is me doing that, sort of.
