no need to attend all classes, your story your schedule
Japanese culture has a strong sense of privacy and decorum which sometimes makes it tough to find out, let alone tell the truth of women's lives. This writing workshop guides women and men of Japanese heritage through the process of writing the life story of their mothers with lots of discussion on the particular challenges of growing up Japanese.
The simple writing template developed by My Mother's Story, will give you permission and the opportunity to ask the questions you need to create a compelling and entertaining record of your family history.
Marilyn Norry creator of My Mother's Story, co-leads with Kimiko Suzuki food writer for Shinpo and Japanese cooking instructor, offering instruction and discussion in both English and Japanese.
