Description:

In a nation divided, let’s inspire unity through community. What is your story?

Through our stories we will gain an understanding of each other. Come join us at Busboys and Poets to share your story with author and founder of Inspires and creator of the story mandala, Alysia Dempsey.

What is your story is an empowering exercise enabling participants of all ages, race, gender and cultures to share their story and discover that of others. Guest will share their unique attributes on a personal story mandala and learn how they can make a positive impact and difference in our world with their story. Inspire unity and empathy in our communities today. Your story matters. Share it.❤️
