Character Creation Lab: Writing Student and Working Parent Characters with Imaginable Futures - Replay and Resources
On May 27, we partnered with Imaginable Futures for a Character Creation Lab focused on developing compelling character backstories and storylines through the lens of pursuing education and better career paths to support their families. Learn how narratives that depict social issues around higher education, early childhood education, childcare and caregiving, systemic racism, and access to upward mobility provide relatable stories to audiences and how to craft authentic characters with a toolbox of informed research and resources that represent the challenges of the work-family balance.
The event was moderated by Jenn Clark (Imaginable Futures Strategic Communications Lead) and included panelists Michelle Denise Jackson (Maid), Madeline Hendricks Lewen (Jane The Virgin), and Anya Meksin (High Potential).
