How your character chooses to identify (and why) is a crucial building block for every story you tell. In this 1 hour (or 90 minute) workshop, we will explore:
• the roots of culture and its impact on character dynamics
• the power of code switch and how it enriches facets and tension within your cast
• identity’s secret power to anchors backstory, POV, and world-building.
