The HerStories Project kicked off on March 6 with a festive group. Storytellers Jean Bolley (Lansing Storytellers) and Lynette Brown (Michigan Women’s Historical Center) in character as Elizabeth Cady Stanton began the afternoon followed by the workshop “Journaling through change” by Holly Makimaa (Oasis Wellness).

On March 11, the statewide weekly newspaper Between the Lines published an article about HerStories: “Telling TheirStories” by Jessica Carreras. Thanks to BTL for spreading the word about the program!
Events continue March 13 with storytellers Charles Thornton and Ena Baker (Lansing Storytellers) and two writing workshops. The workshop leaders Dawn Comer and Mary Catherine Harper travel from Defiance College in Ohio to give sessions on fiction and poetry.
