Your Personal Stories Matter: How Our Voices Can Harness Socio-Cultural Change

Log in to leave feedback.
Personal stories matter because our voices can be engines for social, political, and cultural change toward a more just and equitable society where we, as artists and people, have a seat at the table. In this session, we will discuss how to turn our memories and experiences into transformational stories. We’ll look at the ways in which the personal can be a vehicle to broader societal issues through our writing, and how this can expand and enrich what we have to say. We will conclude the session with a writing exercise so that we can begin to connect our individual voice to something larger.
