Juliana Posada has experienced the power of storytelling since a young age. In her adult life she has seen such a power as a catalyst for people’s connections and empathy. She sees the opportunity of  writing together as a place for growing and learning in community.  She was inspired by the accessibility of Writing Around Portland workshops in allowing a quality space for story telling through fostering writing where everyone can participate. As someone working in the humanities field, Juliana is happy to facilitate a space of connection and sharing, where everyone’s stories are heard and valued.
