Stories with an Accent: Berkeley Storytelling Open Mic

11/11 — our storytelling open mic, all about wishes and dreams, but stories on any theme are welcome! Everyone is welcome, and ESL speakers are especially encouraged to participate — our host is one of them! Stories are usually 5–7 minutes long, but shorter ones are welcome, too. If you don't feel you have a story to tell, just come! Our friendly atmosphere might inspire you to share one spontaneously or join a storytelling game with the group. ✨ Our next meeting is on 12/12 — same time, same place. :) More info on Instagram: @storieswithanaccent
