The Power of Your Story: Building Identity, Embracing Risk, Creating Change
Thursday, May 21 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Chris Worth believes in the transformative power of developing the story of self. Through his work, he’s seen how intentionally shaping one’s personal narrative can lead to deep self-discovery and growth. Chris will share how systems can quietly hinder this process—often without individuals realizing it—and offer practical ways to reclaim and strengthen your story over time. He emphasizes that embracing risk is essential to this journey; stepping into the unknown is often where the most profound insights and breakthroughs occur. Chris reminds us that our individual stories are powerful, and together, they form an even more powerful collective history.
Presenter: Christopher Robin Judson Worth BFA, MA, MED, educator, visual artist, writer, community organizer, consultant, & PhD student at the University Missouri St. Louis
