Stories can be written. Spoken. Performed. Sung. 💛

Through Salt & Light Coalition’s Storytelling Class, our Thrivers are exploring the many ways stories can be created and shared: from writing and poetry to improv, characters, and performance.

Led by Dionna Griffin-Irons , the class creates space for creativity, self-expression, and the power of finding your voice.

Because storytelling isn’t just about telling a story. It’s about discovering what you have to say. ✨
