public speaker (or somewhere in between) this is the space for you!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="color:#323232">Storytelling is a chance to reflect on your life, take stock of the events you've lived through, and think about how they have shaped you as a person. Sharing stories helps us build
connections with our wider communities, understand better the lives of others, and appreciate and celebrate our differences. The surge in popularity of storytelling projects across the US in recent years speaks to the enduring importance of this ancient art
form, and we're thrilled to create a space for MIT's diverse community to meet, converse, and share their stories.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
