What's Your Story, Jamaica? 2024

Hello Everyone!

I'm Debra Ehrhardt, and I'm thrilled to reach out to you for a cause close to my heart – the 3rd annual "What's Your Story Jamaica?" storytelling competition. I am the proud producer of this event along with my co-producer, Dr. Basil Kong and we need your support to make it an unforgettable experience for storytellers and audiences alike. The competition is free for entrants, ensuring that everyone has a chance to share their story, regardless of their financial situation.

"What's Your Story, Jamaica?" is not just a competition; it's a celebration of the rich tapestry of human experiences that make us who we are. For the past two years, What's Your Story Jamaica? has been a celebration of real stories, authentic voices, and the magic that happens when we share our truths. I've seen the power of storytelling firsthand. It transcends borders, connects hearts and brings communities together. It's about fostering a sense of belonging and ensuring that every voice is heard.

What's Your Story Jamaica? is not just an event. It's a movement. In the heart of Kingston, Jamaica, on Sunday, Feb 11th 2024 at 4pm, we are giving away a million Jamaican dollars to the most compelling storytellers, and that's where you come in. We want to make it even more incredible, more inclusive and more impactful. But we can't do it alone. Please, join me on this journey. Be a part of something extraordinary and witness the power of storytelling in action.

I've dedicated myself to making storytelling accessible to all, and your contribution will help us cover the costs of organizing this incredible event.

I am reaching out to you today to raise $6500 to ensure the success of the 3rd annual "What's Your Story Jamaica?" competition. Your generous contribution will cover essential expenses such as prize money, venue costs, marketing, film and editing costs. I will personally be in Kingston, Jamaica in January 6, 2024 to start working with our talented storytellers, ensuring that their voices are heard and celebrated.

Your support, whether big or small, will make a significant impact on our ability to create an unforgettable experience for our storytellers and audience. By contributing to this campaign, you are not just supporting an event – you are championing the power of storytelling and fostering a sense of community and connection.

If contributing financially isn't possible for you right now, you can still make a huge impact by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Help us spread the word and make "What's Your Story Jamaica?" a success.
