From Gutters to Glory: A Live Storytelling Event

Introduction:

From Gutters to Glory is a live storytelling event where participants share their personal tales of encountering difficulty but coming out victorious in one way or another. 

The purpose of this event is to celebrate story and be supportive of storytellers no matter their experience level. 

Storytellers will have 5 minutes for their stories.

There are 8 slots available for storytellers, and the order of the storytellers will be decided by drawing names from a hat.
