Join writer and oral historian Marsha O’Mahony for a rich exploration of storytelling, community memory and the power of lived experience, as part of the WEA’s Purpose to Pen series.
With over 30 years’ experience in journalism, writing and oral history, Marsha has documented the voices of the River Wye, the Gwent Levels and the Irish diaspora in the West Midlands. Her work centres on humanising data - bringing qualitative depth to quantitative facts to create meaning and connection.
In this event, Marsha will share why she writes, why community stories matter, and how oral history can preserve the truths that statistics alone cannot.
