Join us for a virtual seminar presented by Kaitzak X Hoki, where we dive into the transformative power of storytelling.
Speakers Mariam Vahradyan and Sarah Artin will explore how the stories we tell shape not only our individual well-being but also the collective resilience of our communities. Drawing from the science of storytelling and the rich narratives of the Armenian Diaspora, this discussion will uncover ways to foster a more agentic, future-focused collective identity.
Don’t miss this conversation on how we can reclaim and reshape our narratives to build a stronger, more connected future.
Registration is essential and participation is free.
