Alanah Davis: Everyone's a Storyteller

Your story didn't begin when you walked into this room. It started long before, in the places you grew up, the people who shaped you, the moments that left a mark. This workshop invites you to dig into the experiences and identities that make you you, and transform them into stories worth telling. No performance required. Just honesty, curiosity, and the courage to begin. Every person in this room carries a universe of experience. This workshop creates space for stories rooted in who you are, your background, your values, your journey. We'll explore how personal identity becomes a storytelling superpower, and how sharing authentically builds bridges between people.
