GGC Storytelling Nights: It Keeps Getting Better

Danita Myanne shares from her book

 

WOW! I'm still in awe of how many people came out to support our most recent storytelling night, and the powerful stories that were shared. March 1st I hosted my  sixth storytelling night!  8 brave people shared their recovery stories, survival stories, mental health stories, parenting stories and so much more. It was an incredibly powerful evening.

 

I saw attendants crying, laughing, hugging, and finding similarities with so many of our storytellers. These storytelling shows prove that when we share our stories, we give it power to help, comfort, heal, and motivate others.

I want to thank each of our storytellers Amy Walton, Mike "The Fitness Junkie" Lambert, Brandy Anderson, Chanita Stone, Natasha Ewa, Tanecia "SweeTee" Newman, Danita Myanne, and Vernard "The Laugh Therapist" Hines for sharing!

Also for the first time we had a few businesses sponsoring our event. Special thanks to Danielle McDowell of The Healing Space, Carol Rood of Sugar and Skin Spa, and Michelle Layne of The R.Y.D.E. Foundation sponsored our event!


Special thanks to Gourmet Burger Bistro from Portsmouth,VA, Bearded Bird Brewing Co. in Norfolk for allowing us to host our events at their venue, and Pownd Cakes by Jen for bringing her delicious treats to our event.
