Class Description: The class looks at the connection between the larger context of the story you have to tell, and framing that story in a way that allows people to hear the vulnerable issues that are shaping our world, and hopefully, compel them to take action. Through writing, you’ll explore how to move essays, poems and conversations from “bumper sticker,” to a place where the vulnerability of our own stories comes through and invites people to hear something they might not be as comfortable hearing otherwise. The class will read from Fire and Ink, The Robot Scientist's Daughter by Jeannine Gailey, Naomi Shihab Nye, and from Jourdan’s own poem, Homophobia’s Hidden Carbon Count, illustrating how a personal story can move people to see the connection between homophobia and climate change that affects us all.
Class length: 48 minutes (broken up into 7 parts and includes participant sharing).
