About This Event
Speaker: Putsata Reang
We all have wounds that resist healing, injuries incurred in moments when we are misunderstood, unseen, unheard and worse, harmed. These wounds are what former U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Tretheway calls the "existential wound"--the ones that don't seem to ever heal--and they can trap us into a single narrative of being unworthy, unlovable, irredeemable. We spend so much of our lives tending to the wounds of others, but what if we found the courage to turn inward and look at the places inside of us that throb? What if we summoned the vulnerability to tell not only our doctors where it hurts, but also tell our friends and family, our co-workers and our community? What if we started to tell the stories of our scars and author a different narrative of our lives? We all have scars that start as wounds that are sometimes hard to heal. Stories hold the cure.
