About the Workshop
You have something to say in a story, but how do you say it without sounding too pushy or opinionated? In this workshop, Sue O’Halloran will explore how she approaches themes of race equity, diversity and inclusion in creating stories that respect, enlighten, and emotionally move your audience members to take action. Rich with historical insights, this workshop opens eyes and hearts. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your mission driven motives for telling socially relevant stories and be given practical ways to overcome fears of taking stands. For veteran activists or those who are still discovering what causes call to them.
