In this memoir essay workshop, participants will bring a meaningful object from home—a photograph, keepsake, book, or everyday item—and use it as a doorway into their personal story. Through guided sensory prompts and writing exercises, students will explore how this object connects to their background, family traditions, identity, and hopes for the future. They will craft a short memoir essay inspired by their object, culminating in a celebratory share-out that honors each student’s voice, imagination, and sense of belonging.Led by author Margaret Chandra Kerrison who most recently published an essay collection Los Angeles Lost and Found. She is a creative consultant who has worked with Disney Imagineering and leading design agencies to craft immersive, place-based stories. Across page and project, her work centers on shaping narratives that connect people more deeply to culture, community, and meaning.
