Brigid’s Place presents Her Story is Our Story – #iammarymagdalene. Tuesday, June 23, 7pm-9pm.

Brigid’s Place invites you to an evening of sharing our stories.

This will be an evening full of prose, photography, music, wonder, delight, depth, truth, love, and the story of Mary Magdalene. We are all a part of Mary Magdalene’s story and because this is true we can all share our own stories together.

To help us come to know Mary Magdalene and one another in beautiful ways, our amazing friends will be leading us in an evening of artful storytelling. This is going to be a fabulous night…we sure hope to see your fabulous self there too!

We will have food, drinks, stories, music, and we’re even rolling out the valet service for you…so come on over and share your story with us as we get ready for our Mary Magdalene Festival in July!

This is gonna be great!

Karen Walrond is an author and photo essayist. Karen’s bestselling book, The Beauty of Different, is a chronicle of imagery and portraiture, combined with written essays and observations on the concept that what makes us different makes us beautiful — and may even be the source of our superpowers.

A sought-after keynote and TEDx speaker, Karen has spoken around the United States and abroad on the topic of thriving, through leadership development, the magic of creativity, the valuing of cultural and racial diversity, and the power of social media. She is also a proud and “awestruck” member of the ONE Girls Women and Advisory Board and part of the ONE Campaign. We welcome with joy Karen to celebrate our stories!
