Studly Stories: Storytelling for Masc-of-Center Queers
with drag & media artist Kyle Casey Chu
Wednesday May 12, 2021
6–7:30pm PT
About the Workshop
In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to craft personal narratives that are (yo)uniquely yours. Weaving together pop culture case studies, social marketing fundamentals, and narrative psychology techniques, we’ll explore how storytelling can help you define and/redefine your sense of self, masculinity, and the world.
