Please join us for our nineteenth storytelling session. The event will take place over Zoom. This month we have the honor of welcoming storyteller Ine-Marie van Dam!

Ine-Marie spent her early childhood in Curaçao with her Dutch Jewish family. As a child, she immigrated to the US and soon after learned about her passion for languages. Migration, language, and history have been important themes in Ine's life. Her story will inspire you to ponder the meaning of home, motivation, and exploration.

In our last storytelling session, Tizita told us her and her family's migration story. She talked about conflict, yearning, creating a new home, and returning home with a new generation. At the end of that event, there was a great interest in continuing the conversation that Tizita had started.  For this reason, we are excited to invite you to part two of our last storytelling event! This time, we will all have a chance to share our experiences with migration, home, identity, and other themes. Whether or not you were there for part one, you are welcome to join us!

NOTE ABOUT INTERPRETATION: Unfortunately, we do not yet have funding for interpretation after April 2023, so this event will only be available in English. We are sorry for this issue. Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering as an interpreter for any upcoming events.

ZWhether you are new to King County or have lived here for a long time, it can be hard to know what safety resources are available here. You may not know what to do if you experience harassment or violence, and it may not be clear what your rights are when talking to the police. IWCC and Eastside For All have prepared a presentation about these topics and more. We will discuss how to report an incidence of hate or bias, what your rights are around policing, and an upcoming levy vote that relates to crisis centers in Eastside King County. We will also be happy to answer any questions you have about community safety!

Please join us for our eighteenth storytelling session on Monday, March 27th, from 6:00pm-7:30pm. The event will take place over Zoom. This month we have the honor of welcoming storyteller Tizita Assefa!

Tizita’s family immigrated from Ethiopia to the US. Though they planned to return home after her father completed his PhD, civil war and conflict made their stay more permanent. As students, refugees, and immigrants, the family has striven to find an identity that fits their journey. In her story, Tizita reflects on her past, present, and future. She explores themes of power, relationships, anger, change, and acceptance, inviting us to do the same.
