Brewing Tough Conversations to Help Each Other Face Cancer

Perkatory Logo

Elephants and Tea is bringing you a new way to hear and amplify the stories of the adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer community with the digital series Perkatory: Brewing Tough Conversations to Help Each Other Face Cancer.


We will host seven Perkatorys in 2022, three of which will coincide with our magazine issues! They will all be on Zoom at 7:00pm Eastern Time and are open to anyone that would like to join Perkatory that month. (Sign up below for each month)

How Perkatory works:

  • Each Perkatory session we invite writers that will be featured throughout the month on a specific topic to read their writing out loud to the community
  • We will then invite an organization to come and present briefly about who they are and what they do, so people attending can learn more about other awesome organizations
  • We will then open it up to Q&A and a discussion on the topic of the month and the writers stories

The goal of Perkatory is to encourage individuals to use their voice and bring each other out of “perkatory” to help live your best life
