Learn about utilizing storytelling for emotional transformation

Green Terror Table Talks, a weekly virtual space for students of color, presents “The Lion’s Side: The Utilization of Storytelling for Emotional Transformation” on Thursday, February 25, at 6pm.

This workshop facilitates understanding of the importance of storytelling in culture, the function of the griot in the context of trauma, analyzing the primary components of a story, application of positive intrinsic qualities in effort to create and fortify emotional foundations for recovery and healing, and modalities for expressing one’s story.
