Unmuted: The Fed Up Storytelling Event
Grab a pint, grab a seat, and get ready to hear some stories.
Prepare a 5-minute story responding to the prompt: "The thing I finally said out loud."
A truth to yourself. A "no" you didn't think you had in you. A confession that felt terrifying until it didn't. Whatever it was for you, we want to hear it. Funny, awkward, brave, cathartic — we want it all. You can use your notes, no need to memorize.
Come tell yours, or come just to listen. Either way, it's a laid-back afternoon of real stories, good beer, and community that is practicing saying the true thing out loud, together.
This event is hosted by The Fed Up, a community built to help people reclaim their voice— for themselves, their communities and democracy. Learn more and how to join at www.thefedupcommunity.com
