TUESDAY TALKS
"I love a good story! A good story connects me to people. I become a willing participant with the main characters in their story and I am rewarded with excitement, adventure, insight, knowledge, and the opportunity to practice empathy. "
The Art happens when the audience connects with the storyteller.
Tuesday Talks is about connecting with people and building a community. NOCOAC invites a diverse set of speakers to share their stories with you.
