✨ This past weekend was pure magic! 🌟 PFP teamed up with the amazing TMI Project and its awesome facilitators, Dara Lurie and Micah Blumenthal, for an all-day writing intensive at the Alana Center on Vassar Campus. πŸ“

We wrapped up a transformative 7-week journey of BIPOC storytelling, where brave souls shared their β€œTMI” experiences, turning shame into freedom. It was a day full of creativity, connection, and empowerment.

So proud of everyone who participated! Let’s keep telling our stories and embracing the beauty in them. πŸ’«
