KOREAN ADOPTEE ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA

OCTOBER 2025

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 personal development and ongoing healing, as well as the mission of KAAG.

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.

Specific to this workshop: I had further thoughts about the differences between story vs. narrative in our discussion yesterday but felt we were on the precipice of falling down a rabbit hole, so kept us going. As I suspected, some research I did today revealed I was correct, which is that stories ultimately fold into or relate to our broader narratives not unlike how objectives relate to goals. Further, I believe that narratives often carry within them pockets of data, conscious or unconscious, about values, grief, etc.

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 second Tuesdays of the month at Manuel’s Tavern. However, we’re having a special 15th anniversary show on Friday, November 21 (also at Manuel’s).
