Self portrait at 32, 2019. Nine weeks ago, I started a storytelling workshop class through my once Chicago fairy godmother, Saya Hillman, who runs Mac and Cheese Productions. Saya, since I’ve known her, as been creating these sorts of experiences that help to propel folks towards their highest selves. I jumped at the chance to snag a scholarship spot for a storytelling workshop for Black writers she launched during the height of the uprising for Black lives.
Unbelievably courageous and honest.
