Tell Your Story - Oct. 1, 3 pm

Tell Your Story is a workshop space specifically for BIPOC and other students who identify as part of a racial minority group. The purpose of this space is to provide a space for students to share their unique stories—stories that may have been untold or unheard in other settings. This workshop utilizes Narrative Therapy principles, including listening with an open mind and embracing the power of storytelling, to help externalize individual experiences and empower students in their identities. "Tell Your Story" will offer open dialogue around shared experiences, as well as creative outlets like Art Therapy (such as painting or drawing) to support self-expression and reflection.

Location: Student Center, 403
