Warwick Story Share

The Power of Story

Members of We the People Warwick (WTPW) have recognized the extraordinary power that personal stories have in connecting, engaging, inspiring, and healing us. Since the beginning of humankind, stories have been the essential building blocks of empathy, human connection, and community. That is why WTPW members are working hard to call forth the stories of struggle, joy, resilience, and just basic humanness that exist in the members of our own community. Hear what attendees had to say about our first and second Story Share events. We think you’ll agree they were a great success!
