About the Workshop
Presenter: Madeline Aliah (she/her)
Youth Led
Level: Intermediate
For: Both middle and high school students
Description: Everyone has a story, but, for queer people, there is a stigma against our stories that is often internalized even as we surround ourselves in a sea of other people’s stories of acceptance. In this workshop, we will experiment with writing our personal stories of coming out and/or self-discovery. An open mic will be held for these stories at the end.
