First Thursday: Joe Loya--Confessions of a Former Bank Robber

Just for High School Students

In his youth, Joe Loya robbed more than a dozen banks and spent seven years in prison. Today he's on the right side of crime, living a solid life as a father, husband, a writer and performer. During the January First Thursday event, Loya will discuss how taking ownership of his story, refusing to accept people's limited expectations of him, and expressing himself through writing helped him turn his life around. Author of The Man Who Outgrew his Prison Cell: Confessions of a Bank Robber, Loya will also share tips on how to really get deep into your own story so you can become a more effective storyteller.
