Voices Slam
Do you ever feel like sharing stories from your immigrant journey or your dual Asian-American identity with others? Are there gripping tales of how have your ideas changed in your time here? A memorable, painful, joyful or hilarious moment that marks your immigrant life?

Sign up here to tell a 6-minute, true story at an Off Kendrik 'Voices' Story Slam about your South Asian Immigrant experiences. We understand South Asia to include India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan & Maldives. Stories must be true, told in the first person and be about South Asian immigrant experiences. If you are not South Asian, please reflect on your story to determine if it fits the theme and consult the organizer if needed.

SLAM RULES:
- Slams will be hosted on Zoom every 3 months, recorded and shared on the Off Kendrik YouTube channel.
- 6-8 tellers will be selected at random during the Slam from this sign-up list.
- A Featured Teller (picked by organizers) may open the show.
- There will be a reminder buzzer at the 5 minute mark and again at the 6 minute mark.
- Audience vote at the end will award the winning story $25.
- If a story has violence, adult themes, sex or any other content that may not be family-friendly, please indicate so in this form. Hate speech will not be tolerated.
- Optional: Voices will offer a few group coaching virtual meets before each slam to help tellers craft their stories.
