The First Voice Story Slam is set in pen on this Thursday, April 3rd,  from 1 to 3 pm. The event is open to all students and will be near the cafeteria, in the Lakeside Lounge. Bring your written story or your presence and witness the beauty of the words written and spoken. In this story slam, participants will have five-minute stories they can present relating to the theme of “My Superpower”.

Pizza will be provided, and the top six storytellers will be chosen by other student judges for mentorship. Later, they will compete to win monetary prizes for the Grand Slam event on April 17th.

There will be a special guest, Shannon Cason, hosting the event. He is a renowned storyteller with three podcasts in the works, and his writing plays a huge role. Podcasts like “The Trouble, and “In Good Company Detroit”, to name a couple.
