MN Herstory Reading

MN Herstory is a community initiative to celebrate and honor the beauty, power, and strength of Hmong women through the unique lens of their collective stories.

Join MN Herstory for an afternoon of connecting with your community, sharing narratives, and participating in a reading and panel discussion with local herstorians. After the event, join the MN Herstory community for Happy Hour at Lake Monster Brewing, next door to SPNN. 

This is our herstory.
