Strategic Personal Storytelling
This work centered on co-authoring movement storytelling curriculum, co-facilitating a training series for Hand in Hand during the Spring/Summer of 2021 for HiH's Fellowship Program. At the conclusion of the training series we participated in the final copyediting of participant's personal stories. The fellowship program gathered 25 people who need or provide support at home--or both--to develop and share their personal care stories. The booklet below was produced from the finalized personal stories that were developed during the fellowship.
Hand in Hand (HiH) is a national network of family caregivers and employers of nannies, house cleaners and home attendants, our families and allies, working for dignified and respectful working conditions that benefit worker and employer alike.

"At Hand in Hand, we hired Felicia to co-facilitate and develop the curriculum for a storytelling training for organizers and activists. Felicia brought extraordinary skill, creativity, humor, kindness, and consistency to our work together. Working on a tight deadline, she crafted a creative and engaging training tailored to our needs and vision, and tackled the challenge of developing a curriculum accessible to a very diverse set of participants. The training was a huge success, and participant feedback highlighted the impact of Felicia's fabulous, fun, and vulnerable facilitation. One participant, a community organizer with decades of experience, shared that they had been to countless trainings, but this one stood out as having some of the best and most visionary facilitation and instruction. I agree! We were unbelievably lucky to get to work with Felicia on this project and I'm excited to find opportunities to continue to work with her in the future."
