Nov. 14: Equality Chelsea Queer StorySlam at Chelsea First UMC

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Jane Pacheco for the information in this story.)

The final program, in the three-part fall story series, presented by Equality Chelsea, is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at Chelsea First United Methodist Church.

Storyteller Joanna Whaley, a multiple Moth StorySlam winner, is coming back to Chelsea with a group of guest tellers who will share stories to foster empathy and understanding in our community of LGBTQ+ and allies.

Please preregister for this free event at www.serendipity-books.com.

In September, Equality Chelsea hosted Laura O’Connor to present a workshop to help train a cohort of “Story Collectors”.

In October, a second workshop took place at Serendipity Books featuring Joanna Whaley who offered a bit of her story as well as tips on How to Tell Your Story.

The final event, on Nov. 14, will include a performance of a number of different folks sharing their crafted stories of life within the LGBTQ community.

Equality Chelsea helps LGBTQ+ people to live their best lives in Chelsea and as part of our surrounding areas in Washtenaw County. Open to all LGBTQ+ people and allies, Equality Chelsea believes in treating everyone with dignity and respect. Read more about the organization at www.equalitychelsea.org.
