Alicia Knox: Presenter–

Greg Kemp: Service Associate —

As a story doula and photographer, Alicia believes it is essential we preserve our life stories before they’re lost forever. Through a multimedia presentation featuring the Project Somos Children’s Learning Village in Guatemala, she will share where her inspiration for preserving stories came from.  She will talk about why getting your stories in order at this chapter of your life, isn’t just meaningful—it’s critical. The messy, beautiful, complicated truth of your life deserves to be preserved. Your grandchildren aren’t just going to thank you—they’re going to treasure these stories as their inheritance.
