Yet another member of the Speed City Chapter of Sisters in Crime is participating in The Facing Project. This time it is Stephen Terrell, who has written an article for Facing Mentoring, a project in Muncie, which is where the Facing Project started.
The stories will be read at by performers at Muncie Civic Theater, Thursday, January 19 beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Facing Project is a community-based effort to face serious issues in local communities across the country. It pairs local writers with people impacted by the issue which local organizers have selected as an important topic for the community. The writers give a voice to those impacted and whose voice may not otherwise be heard.
In November, Speed City member Barbara Miller participated in Facing Racism, also in Muncie.
The Facing Project was started five years ago by author Kelsey Timmerman and activist J.R. Jamison-Pippin and have addressed a wide variety of issues in communities throughout the United States. For more information, go to facingproject.com
