Program Description

Event Details

Every person has a story to tell, crafted from life experience. Curiosity and inquiry are welcomed at our first Living Library in Focus! This program series features several individuals who will share their stories in a panel moderated by library staff. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with the audience.
 
In celebration of Women's History month, this panel's theme is Women in Industry-featuring women who have experience as leaders in business and entrepreneurship. Our storytellers include:

She is a community builder, creative producer, podcast host, and youth coach with Discover You, where she works with high school students using the Forging Futures curriculum to build self-awareness and positive relationships. Gina is also the owner of Inner Sensory Healing, and through her combined work she bridges creativity, storytelling, leadership, and holistic healing to foster unity, confidence, and belonging across the Great Lakes Bay Region.
 
-Rhonda Alexia Webb is an author, entrepreneur, and the Founder & CEO of Kids Rule Now! Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to exposing children and teens to entrepreneurship at an early age.
