About SPIT IT OUT |
Spit It Out is a storytelling and public speaking training series begun in 2024 through the generosity of a CFF Impact Grant. Each training is geared toward people with cystic fibrosis or their caregivers |
Often we are called upon to share our personal stories, whether it is to promote research, fundraise, or help others with cystic fibrosis. People with CF have varied experiences with this; some of us grow up casually talking about our illness, some experience it is at the center of their identity, and others are mortified about sharing information about it. Spit It Out is an effort to build community around our lived experiences, explore each person's boundaries around sharing our medical trauma, and teach skills in how to craft a compelling story that stays with an audience long after they've left the room.
Upcoming dates:
Join us for a four-hour workshop on April 13, 12pm - 4pm ET.
Whether you're a parent, sibling, or patient with CF, you have a story to tell. Spit It Out is about creating a supportive space together that allows you to workshop your personal stories and learn best practices for strong, impactful storytelling. You'll have the opportunity to apply what you learn and receive feedback on your speech from the group.
Filling out the form at the link below does not guarantee you a spot for the April 13th training, but we will have future offerings over the summer as well.
