For Your Encouragement: On Expanding Your Horizons

December 11, 2015

Last month I was invited to speak on a panel for high school students about my experiences pursuing higher education. I learned a lesson that night about the power of perspective that I wanted to share with you.

Read my note: When Your World Grows, Things Change at Notes From An Aspiring Humanitarian.

I hope you find encouragement in my sharing.

I'm a macro social worker, social justice educator, and consultant who uses media and education to advance equity and social justice within people, organizations, and communities. I am also the Founder, Host, Editor and Producer of Social Justice Origin Stories, a storytelling project that highlights the personal stories and defining moments that have inspired individuals and organizations to labor for equity and social justice. I started Social Justice Origin Stories because I believe in the power of storytelling and making our experiences accessible to others, because I believe in the liberatory effects of social justice education, to support justice-seekers in finding community and feeling less alone given the relentlessness of oppressive systems, and hopefully to be a resource of support and reflection for those who are thinking through how they could best contribute to the work. We need all who can, to do what they can.
