Celebrate Fair Housing Month with a fun evening of storytelling and connections.

Emceed by Ferene Paris of All Heart Inspirations, local storytellers will share first-person stories of hope, community, strength, and struggle while illustrating the realities and challenges of today’s housing landscape in Vermont. The celebratory evening includes hearty snacks and drinks, plenty of time and space for people to connect with each other, and opportunities to discuss housing issues and get creative.

The evening also includes a special Get to Know the Let’s Talk Race Conversation Cards session.

Featured Storytellers: Corrine Yonce, Courtney Quinlan, Hayley Shriner, Jason Kekac, Kathleen Kemp, Lydia Diamond, Pacifique Nsengiyumva, and Sharyl Green
