Our next Speak Up storytelling event is on Saturday, March 29th, at Real Art Ways in Hartford. Doors open at 7:00 PM. The show begins promptly at 8:00 PM.
There are still some tickets available, though we are expecting a sellout, so purchase them now before it’s too late. Tickets available here.
This week, we introduce the storytellers you will hear on Saturday night. Hope to see you there!

Lynelle Abel is a blue-collar girl at heart and finds that her best stories come from her small-town roots. She credits her keen interest in storytelling to her mother and her 7 brothers and sisters. They are the consummate storytellers – and have shaped Lynelle’s life in indescribable ways through their stories of resilience and humor amid incredible hardships.
Lynelle is proud of her not-so-picture-perfect childhood – and while she and her husband went to great lengths to provide a more wholesome life for their two sons, she secretly hopes they are creating their own life stories filled with interesting people, happenings, and experiences along their journey. She can’t wait to hear some of their law-and-order stories when they are ready to disclose them…
Lynelle holds a master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational psychology, and in her now-adult white-collar world, works as the director of Volunteer Services for Yale-New Haven Hospital and feels genuinely blessed to witness the extraordinary acts of kindness from ordinary people daily.
