The Empowerment Approach Hosts Its First Community Workshop

·

·

The first of two sessions, The Art of Storytelling, focused on enlightening the community on the history and importance of oral storytelling! We shared tools and resources to inspire everyone to share YOUR story!

A special thanks to area educators and community leaders for facilitating the workshop:

  • Dr. Angela Bendolph
  • Miranda Manley
  • Dr. April Sanders

In the second session, we invited the community to hear stories from two community leaders/professional coaches. With the theme of “Courage, Strength, and Individuality”, we utilized this opportunity to engage with others and encouraged volunteers to speak your truth!

A special thanks to local storyteller and educator, I​rene Wegner, and nationally recognized speakers:

  • Lamarr Womble
  • Mel Reyes
