DISCOVER YOUR HIDDEN STORY
In this lecture, Daria will share how we can discover stories hiding within us. She will discuss how these stories, like treasures we often don’t know we have, offer us the opportunity to write with authenticity, personal truth, and the power to connect readers to each other and their communities. Daria will also be in conversation with guest author and VCFA alum Jessica Rinker about how she discovered the very first story hiding within her.
