In 2018 Suzie Stroud, a CLARKE UNIVERSITY social work student partnered with INCLUSIVE DUBUQUE to organize a storytelling project focusing on pairing members of the LGBTQ+ community in Dubuque with writers. Following interviews with storytellers, the writers wold compose first-person accounts which would be collected a published as a book to be shared throughout Dubuque. Storytellers could choose to remain anonymous. They were able to read and suggest changes to their story prior to publication.
