Get as creative as you like: collage, doodle, color grade—anything goes. Compile your story into a presentation file, share it with Jeffrey, and see your work projected for everyone to experience and discuss together. We’ll close with Jeffrey sharing his personal journey—the fears that come with putting yourself out there, and why embracing vulnerability is essential to creative growth. You'll leave with space to reflect and share your own insights, too.
