Joy, Resistance, and Change: Healing through Cultural Storytelling
About the Event
Friday, January 24
7 – 8 PM
virtual event; open to all mentees, mentors & members
Within the multifaceted discussion of how to cultivate positive mental health practices, this studio will discuss exploring cultural identity as a means of nurturing oneself. Learn about how writing is used as a means of personal self-care and navigating rich cultural heritage.
In “Change”, the third and last part of the series, “Joy, Resistance, and Change”, we read work that explores cultural storytelling that differs from the dominant narrative about one’s culture, and then have practice writing our own.
