Summary:
Many of us feel social media fatigue. Inundated with content, we can easily reach a stage where we feel every shared story is like any other. In this session, I want to talk about how we can recognize and write about stories that matter, to us and to the world. I will focus on the power of autobiographical storytelling, which can reframe past trauma in giving it meaning and purpose, and help us connect with other people through shared experiences. I will argue that some of the best autobiographical stories are those about our role models who taught us unforgettable life lessons that the world deserves to know as well.
I will also talk about my comic Brave Hearts, which you can read by clicking here.
