I’m honored to be a recipient of a 2025 4Culture Projects grant.
Exciting things are ahead!
The 4 Culture grant funding will allow me to offer several Story Slant workshops in King County over the next year.
In addition, I’ll host a recording session for a combination of the different workshop groups’ final stories.
The art of creatively slanting stories highlights a storyteller’s marginalized or censored personal experience. This well-honed creative and therapeutic process I’ve worked on for over a decade helps participants build skills in creative story-craft, introspection, and public speaking.
Story slanting opens unique freedom to share personal stories. By recasting an event or circumstance we struggle with as a hero’s tale of supernatural battle or epic adventure, we expand our understanding of difficult experiences and sort them more easily into our identity and worldview. Audiences get to experience and learn from their neighbors’ profoundly personal experiences while enjoying relatable tales of quests and adventure.
