Join writer and storyteller Kona Morris (The Moth, PBS’s Stories From The Stage, RISK!) for a 2-day workshop that will guide you through the process of composing and structuring your stories for any audience. From job interviews to wedding speeches, it is important to feel confident to share your stories because YOUR STORY MATTERS.
