Friday, July 17: Started in New York City, CreativeMornings now has chapters around the world. This Friday morning, you can hear local author Portia Love during CreativeMornings - Underdog, where she will speak about her experiences being an underdog. Love has reworked her story A Day in the Life, turning it into a play depicting the stereotypes and typecasts associated with homeless people. Though the story was written a decade before she found herself living at Omaha’s Stephen Center, her time there helped her create a more recent adaptation. Register for your free ticket here.
