This & That: Lots of Virtual Fun For You To Enjoy
I’m trying out new gossip titles, especially since I can’t be Around Town with HughE for a while. I wasn’t a fan of Rants & Raves, cause I really don’t like ranting. I’ll try This and That, or I guess I could just have a tantalizing headline, a gotcha, grab headline. We’ll see.
What are you doing tonight?
Last week DMAX Foundation’s (Our mission:Creating connections and conversations that matter to strengthen mental health and emotional well-being for young people.) April 16th Virtual Educational Event “Self-Esteem: Coping in Collective Isolation was very successful. The event left the audience amazed and awed as we listened to the personal mental journeys from Supermodel EMME, Storyteller Robyn Shumer and college students, Michelle Garda and Jason Levin. Please listen to the short clips from their presentations.Jason Levin: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq0IEYlR27pH-E3kNNoxTug Michelle Garda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtM7vJMqvmU
Tonight the program will include:
- Audience engagement
- Importance of storytelling
- Personal effects of mental health on family members.
Although the event is a fundraiser and donations are appreciated, it is free to college students and is on a “pay what you can” basis to all others.
