One Austin, Many Stories
One Austin, Many Stories, goal is to celebrate and encourage diversity, inclusion and equity in Austin. Each even furthered community conversation and interaction based around these themes. Events included book clubs, a Unity Project during a community festival, a silent play, and interactive lecture on building community, a workshop on Race and Equity and a three-part documentary screening and discussion.

Success would be seen in the diversity of the crowd who attends the play. Success would also be measured by positive responses on a survey handed out following the performance.
The feedback received reinforced the idea that Austin is a community deeply affected by its diversity, but not really sure what to do about it. Racial equity can be a scary topic and this workshop did a great job of breaking down some of these barriers.
