The kickoff luncheon for the What Is Your Story? project concluded earlier this afternoon, and it was a great gathering of people from around the community interested in the project. Interviews on this “StoryCorps day” have been happening all morning, and will continue this afternoon.
Over delicious food catered by Jen Ferrell at the Uptown Innovation Center, guests had the opportunity to hear about the project from Girls Inc. Executive Director Beth Harrick, to meet the two StoryCorps representatives who are facilitating today’s interviews, and to learn more about our upcoming training session in February.
With about 35 attendees, it was a great time to discuss the value of an oral history project in Richmond and Wayne County, and to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of service to girls in Wayne County with the power of storytelling.
Thanks to all who attended and participated, and stay tuned for more information about other upcoming events.
