Trans Day of Visibility Workshop and Story Slam

Workshop and Story Slam with Jabari Lyles

The Committee for LGBTQ+ Advocacy, Support and Inclusion (CLASI) is hosting a Trans Day of Visibility (TDoV) workshop and story slam hosted by queer, trans and nonbinary educator and community organizer, Jabari Lyles. We invite students, staff and community members alike to submit a 5-minute story on the theme of TDoV! Selected storytellers will take part in an interactive workshop to help shape and strengthen their story and then perform at our TDoV story slam. Plus, students will receive a $100 stipend for participation!

This event will take place in two parts:

• March 19, 2026: From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. selected storytellers will participate in an interactive workshop with Jabari Lyles.
• March 26, 2026: From 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. selected storytellers will share their stories at out TDoV event.

Please note: both events will take place in-person in the Special Collections room of the CCBC Catonsville library.
