After the night’s Facilitators Dr. Bonnie Moses and Felice Belle provided a brief introduction, the guests broke up into pairs and began telling personal stories from childhood memories and family dynamics to the everyday struggle. A powerful transformation occurred once the listeners retold the stories to the entire group. The group shared a variety of emotions and by the end of the evening, felt more connected with each other.

 

“Hearing your own story come from another person’s mouth is a sort of out of body experience that helps you see how others portray you. It has definitely shifted how I will communicate moving forward,” one guest mentioned.

 

“When I heard you tell my story it almost brought tears to my eyes; it helped me figure out how I should change my approach to the situation.” said another guest.
