Have you had a traumatic experience that you have overcome that you’d like to share in order to deliver a clear and powerful message to others? Detroit Mercy and storyteller\/artist Satori Shakoor offers two workshops to share tools and help develop the story of your personal journey.<\/p>\n

In session one, Tuesday, Feb. 25 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.<\/strong> in the Engineering Innovation Space, participants will become familiar with the basic tools of the craft of storytelling. Participants will choose a true personal or organization story to tell and identify the purpose they want to fulfill in telling it. This story will be developed throughout the workshop experience.<\/p>\n

Shakoor, a 2017 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow, is the executive producer for the award-winning The Secret Society Of Twisted Storytellers<\/a> (TSSOTS), which she founded in July 2012 in Detroit. TSSOTS has a global mission to connect humanity, heal and transform community and to provide an uplifting, thought- provoking, soul-cleansing entertainment experience through the art and craft of storytelling.<\/p>\n

Through these workshops, Shakoor provides a platform in the form of storytelling in which to share these stories and give others hope that with patience, love and support, we all can move past our trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n

A second session is set for April 9 from <\/strong>5:30-8 p.m. <\/strong>in Health Professions Facility (CHP), Room 124. Four storytellers will be chosen from session one to develop their stories with Shakoor for presentation in front of an audience at the Bridges not Fences VI: Stories of Trauma and the Road to Recovery event at the University.<\/p>\n
