Developed and hosted by sexual assault educator Sara Vos and Carisa Wilder, LMSW, the #metoo Storytelling Salon provides a space for those who've been impacted by #metoo to come and share their experiences in a healing, empowering setting. The format will be a mix of pre-booked speakers and an open mic for #metoo stories. Each speaker will get 5-7 minutes at the mic to share original content. Come with something prepared or speak as inspired; sign ups for time slots will be available on site during the event.
After providing clear group guidelines, the sharing will be from 7:15-9, followed by an hour to debrief, network, and share resources. Trained advocates and mental health professionals will be on site. Due to the sensitive nature of the content, there is no admission after 7:15 pm. There will be non-alcoholic drinks and snacks available for purchase.
