Liz Warren shares her story at the Arizona Biltmore.

KJZZ partners with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers series. We record the live events and share them with you on the radio. In Phoenix, the storytellers sometimes share stories about our community or the life events that have shaped them in general. Megan Finnerty is the creator of the series.

When Liz Warren was a little girl, every holiday and major event revolved around her influential and manipulative grandmother. When Warren went to college, she met a man named Mark Goldstein, whom she moved in with soon after. This did not sit well with her family, especially her grandmother.

Liz Warren is a writer, teacher, and the director of the Storytelling Institute at South Mountain Community College. Warren is one of the mentors of the Arizona Storytellers Project and helps coach the tellers.

The next live storytelling event is Dec. 21, 2015, at The Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix.
