About Your Hosts
At his first storytelling experience in Chicago March 10th, 2020, Rick Jackson fell in awe watching storytellers mesmerize story listeners with entrancing personal tales. With no convenient.local events, he drove far and wide for more and more. Now with encouragement from fellow storytelling aficionados he utilized his event organizing skills to bring storytelling to the Northwest burbs. Welcome to Do Not Submit: Palatine!
Born and raised in the NW 'burbs, Sylvia Mavaji is excited to help bring people together in Palatine to share their stories.
