Colorado Soul Stories

The eXposed Storytelling Series

Do you have a story to tell that you've never really told anyone because it was traumatic, devastating or humiliating? These stories can eat away at us sometimes if they don't come out. eXposed Storytelling gives folks an accepting place to do this and it is intense! Join Mama Jill for an enlightening conversation with founder Josie Nixon and peer, Cooper Braun.
