No, YOU Tell It! (noyoutellit.com) storytellers collaborate to develop true tales on the page, then swap stories to embody their story partner’s culture, identity, and life experience on stage.

For this special Queens Bookend Event, produced in partnership with Culture Lab LIC, we’ve teamed up with New Women New Yorkers (nywomenimmigrants.org) in support of their mission to empower immigrant women and share their stories.

Come celebrate the “Passage” stories of where we come from and where we are headed. Plus, story trivia for literary prizes.
Follow @noyoutellit for more about the series and storytellers.
