PARK PRIDE
SEPTEMBER 2024
Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you all. I enjoyed having the chance to talk about how storytelling can serve your professional & advocacy development needs, as well as the mission of Park Pride.
I love this quote (—–>) from Modern Love about how our stories connect us all, bringing us out of our isolated, individual experiences, and connecting us to the universal.
Below is a list, in no short or specific order, of places to keep leveling in story work.

I would be delighted to continue our new friendship.

As I mentioned, I also produce a monthly storytelling event called Carapace. It’s a great place for you to come out and practice / hone your skills as a storyteller or just listen to some great stories. It takes place on the fourth Tuesdays of the month at Manuel’s Tavern.
