One of the signature events of Pitt’s Women’s History Month celebration — the HerStory Slam at 6 p.m. March 28, 324 Cathedral of Learning — is seeking story submissions.

All stories from all women are welcome. The deadline for submissions is March 11. Stories will be reviewed by a committee and selected by March 15.

If your story is selected, you will be asked to attend a storytelling workshop and rehearsal the week of March 18.

The theme of the HerStory slam is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, which recognizes women who speak up and are leading change in their fields.

You should prepare to present a roughly 3 minute story about a real life, personal experience on the theme of the slam.

Stories can be narrative or told through song or poetry.
