Morris has learned how to navigate a life filled with challenges by finding solace in keeping busy with all the things he enjoys, from watercolor painting to working out mathematical equations. However, when TMI Project offered a storytelling workshop in collaboration with the Mental Health Association of Ulster County (MHA), he was hesitant to join. When he decided to overcome his fear of public speaking and give it a try, though, he transformed into a powerful storyteller.

The Julie Novak Storytelling Club is a place to be your full self — radically free, fully seen, and wholly welcome. To make sure our programming lives up to that promise, we’d love to learn a little more about who’s in the room. This information also helps us demonstrate to partners why this work matters.
