ONLINE: Love, Grief, Play, Heal | Ms. Nerissa Street

Nerissa Street is a multiple award-winning storyteller and facilitator who writes, directs and produces stories for thought leadership and community change. Nerissa has advanced training from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in trauma reduction, and she’s been featured on TEDx, PBS, and multiple media channels. Nerissa wants to bring back the joy to servant leadership, so she’s tackling burnout one heart-centered organization at a time. Nerissa says: “At the heart of my practice is the play between language and transformation. The words we choose shape us, the stories we tell define our possibilities, and the communal rituals we embrace anchor us in wholeness. I build spaces where personal and collective transformation are again possible and where authentic voice in community dissolves shame. It’s easier to create from memory than from imagination, and my work builds the muscle memory of personal freedom and communal joy.”

She hopes that her message today becomes practical medicine.
