Great Opportunity!

The Speaking Your Story Project is an opportunity for you to share your perspectives on important matters that affect your life. The project is an opportunity to foster your own narratives in a creative and meaningful manner. By choosing to speak on one of our thought-provoking questions, you are turning your truth into empowerment for you and those around you.

Submissions for the Speaking Your Story project will end on Friday, December 11th at 11:59 PM (CST).
