Six Word Stories Station Engages DaVerse Lounge Crowd
By Mario Tarradell, Public Relations & Marketing Manager
Six Word Stories took DaVerse Lounge by storm last Friday evening as 88 attendees stopped by the Six Word Stories station and wrote down their personal tales in half-a-dozen words.
We were blown away by the engagement, and the thoughtful stories. Here’s a small sampling of the beauties we enjoyed:
I’m under construction and never happier!
Your melody, my harmony, our symphony.
I am more than six words.
Organized chaos in one beautiful dream.
I can’t is not an option.
Follow your heart, free your mind.
Amazing stuff, huh? Here at Big Thought we thank Communications Manager Pholesha Johnson for doing the research that led her to suggest the Six Word Stories phenomenon as a DaVerse Lounge self-expression exercise. The even greater news is that Six Word Stories will be implemented at all DaVerse Works middle and high school poetry clubs. Also, these same middle and high school poetry clubs will be offered the national Six Word Stories project curriculum.
