Whether our audience is made up of one person or many people, using storytelling in our personal lives, at work or for business is the easiest way to connect with someone on an emotional level. The art of storytelling is one of the most powerful communication skills you can build.

Fanny Julissa García invites you to explore the charm and capacity of storytelling on March 22 from 5:30pm to 6:45pm at the City College of New York. In this presentation, you will learn tips and techniques to help choose the best story for specific audiences and then craft a tale rich with imagery that engages the senses and illustrates an inner and outer journey that is relatable.

Fanny Julissa García is a Honduran American story facilitator, public speaker, and oral historian. She has won multiple awards for her work as an oral historian, and recently received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Oral History Association to work on “Separated: Stories of Injustice and Solidarity,” a project that documents the life histories of families impacted by family separation. Her work is informed by her own life’s history as a formerly undocumented immigrant and as a survivor of trauma and generational poverty. These experiences led her to work for 20 years as a social justice advocate to combat the public health and socioeconomic impact of HIV/AIDS on migrant and low-income communities, work closely with organizations fighting for the end of family detention, and support survivors of sexual violence.
