The Women’s Storytelling Festival, produced annually in March by Better Said Than Done, is a festival celebrating Women (including TGNC individuals) Spoken Word Performing Artists. The festival debuted in March 2020 in Fairfax City, VA, and, thanks to the pandemic, set a precedent for our Festivals to be available for audiences both in-person and online.
