POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

What started as a conversation with @fallonfarinacci over 4 years ago, grew into something better than I could have imagined. Now, @jennaharveyco and I are exploring where to take it next. Endlessly grateful for the support of this community. Thankful to also have had both of these powerhouses as storytellers.

And if you’re admiring the decor behind us, all credit goes to @kwfamous whose beautiful space made for the perfect vibe for this event.

The craftiest, coolest and best photographer was in the house. @justynasokolowski makes magic through her lens and the most fun journal I think I’ve ever seen. So grateful to have her capture some of the moments and people at Open Book.

The one and only (and most supportive friend) @neighbourbecci. She doesn’t love praise, so I won’t say more. But, you should give her a follow if you haven’t already.

[Image description: Patra and Becci standing and smiling but looking at a camera to the left. Patra is in the aforementioned outfit and Becci is in an open denim jacket/top with a black top under it.]

@ruchika_khati did her thing!!! I wanted something more than a swag bag for this style of event so she swooped in with incredible watercolour portraits for attendees to take home.

One of the amazing storytellers @muntu_o with the best snack sponsor @snackhumble. We had guests enjoying the Humble chips throughout all of the different components of the event.

I wanted guests to experience the chapters of Open Book in a small group setting so that curiosity could be explored and assumptions could be challenged. Here is another impactful storyteller, @nbisiing taken in KWFamous by @twofeetapart

If you’ve been looking for new friends, more community, or an excuse to get out of the house… I bet the audience would be screaming, “GO BUY THE TICKET!”

Picture this.. You walk in where you are greeted warmly and handed a library borrowing card. Following that you take a seat next to someone you know nothing about and you get to discuss their lived experiences and perspectives throughout chapters of their life. You’re not there to share your own story - you’re there to listen, be curious, and see what you might learn. After you’ve learned that maybe your assumptions aren’t always correct you proceed to a community area where you’re able to swap old books for new, get portraits done, have a snack while taking a moment to relax and connect with other people in the community while having the chance to earn prizes. You walk away feeling refreshed, connected and curious. Feeling like you were just a part of something bigger than you. Because you were.
You in?
