This meta and introspective storytelling workshop encourages participants to dive into the latent power of their personal story by examining their own lived experiences. The workshop facilitator, Quentin Williams- Adjunct Professor of Social Media Marketing at Temple University, Poet, and CEO of DragonTree Media Group, will guide us through a series of prompts. These prompts are designed to challenge the often unconscious inner narratives that act as the invisible drivers of our lives. Weaving these memories, traumas, experiences, insights, and lessons into story forms can empower individuals to see other possibilities for themselves, their loved ones, and their communities.
