SUMMARY:Storytelling from the Inside-out: Workshop on writing BIPOC storie
 s from within
LOCATION:The Common Press Shoreditch
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on embracing personal narratives and cul
 tivating wholeness as acts of resistance and hope. In this workshop\, I en
 courage the practice of “un-othering” ourselves\, normalizing our mult
 ilayered perspectives and stories\, and cultivating a sense of belonging t
 hrough the connection of storytelling. I bring an intersectional lens to d
 iscussions of personal experience and identity. Preparing for the workshop
 :Collect memories: I invite you to prepare by collecting memories that you
  associate with your personal history\, cultural background\, identity\, s
 ense of belonging\, notions of home and ancestry. Examples may include but
  are not limited to: recipes\, songs\, language\, landscapes\, spells\, pr
 ayers\, books\, poems\, slang\, trees\, flowers\, dances\, memories\, hist
 ories\, stories\, diaries\, emails\, moments in time\, etc. There is no li
 mit to how many "items" you collect in preparation for the session\, but I
  invite you to have at least one.Workshop supports: Sharing our pieces: We
  will close the workshop with an "open-mic" for those who'd like to share 
 what they imagined/created in session. This is not mandatory\, but an oppo
 rtunity of expression for those who feel called.Space to create: Bring som
 ething with ample space to write with/ on -- if possible\, I encourage a s
 creen free experience.Wear comfortable clothing -- I'll be inviting you to
  move and stretch in ways that are available to you. Bring something that 
 brings you comfort e.g. noise cancelling headphones\, blanket\, stuffy\, e
 tc. -- I'll be inviting you to get comfortable in ways that are available 
 to you.About me:Ayla Vejdani (she/her) is a storyteller\, holder of space\
 , and curator of experience. Her debut novel YOU X ME weaves a series of q
 ueer\, BIPOC love stories. These modern entanglements are the kind of roma
 nces that make us lose sleep\, love letters to the friendships we can’t 
 live without\, and a celebration of our endless journeys of self-discovery
 . Raised and educated all over the world\, she has a master’s in human r
 ights\, is a certified brain-based inclusive leadership consultant and the
  co-host of The SHIFT podcast. She speaks four languages and laughs in all
 . Ayla is a queer Iranian-Canadian from Tkaronto/Toronto living in Tiohtia
