Central Conference Room B & LoungeNovelist and essayist Kristen Millares Young will inspire participants to tell their own stories. This generative writing workshop is part of the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau.
Our life stories are a means for connection—a tender offering in a troubled era. Part reportage and part reflection, personal essays can reveal hidden truths about ourselves, our families, and our societies.
In this interactive and generative writing workshop, Kristen Millares Young will help participants tell their own stories. This hour-long session will begin with a one-page reading to inspire group discussion, followed by timed prompts that guide individual writing sessions. By weaving together community narratives, we can craft a vision for our future that includes hope and the capacity for unexpected change.
This program is part of the 2023 Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau. Thank you to Humanities Washington for sponsoring the event.
