Nexus of Narratives
Welcome to the Nexus of Narratives, where we believe in using stories to bring people together. We share stories of people who have faced an obstacle in their life that forced them to face their beliefs about themselves, and/or the people and systems around them. This is a safe space to have conversations about how messy life is while demonstrating how resilient we are. The Nexus of Narratives will be uncovered through this story exploration; it is the common thread that exists between all of us when we uncover what it means to be deeply complex humans seeking belonging in a chaotic world.
