Join Lydia Diamond for a special live taping of Tea Talks celebrating Women’s History Month. We’re filling the studio with a live audience to uplift the beloved femmes & womxn stories in our communities. Refreshments will be provided, including Ferene’s Haitian rhum cake and Jamaican sorrel from Thingz From Yaad.

Youth in 4th–9th grade are invited to explore self-expression through storytelling and creative painting with Ferene Paris. Participants will transform t-shirts and canvas bags into wearable stories while enjoying treats and raffle prizes.

Ferene Paris leads a closing session of her month-long residency, inviting participants to reflect on their personal stories and how they “live out loud.” This inclusive, low-pressure gathering at South Burlington Public Library blends conversation, creativity, and community connection for ages 16 and up.

Celebrate Fair Housing Month with an evening of storytelling, community connection, and hearty snacks, hosted by Ferene Paris and All Heart Inspirations. Hear first-person stories about hope, struggle, and the realities of Vermont housing, with space to connect, reflect, and engage creatively.

Ferene’s keynote blends story, reflection, and heart-centered insight to show how compassion becomes action. Attendees are invited to connect empathy with real-world change, turning understanding into meaningful community impact.
