This year, I completed a certificate in social impact storytelling… which is something I’ve been doing for well over a decade now.
It’s a lot of fun. Being a storyteller has allowed me to get up close interactions with so many different walks of life. Former street kids in Nairobi. Priests in Ethiopia. Mezcaleros in Oaxaca. Mud Wrestlers in Kolkata. But beyond all the fun is a deep belief that well told stories have the capacity to create real change.
It gets real buzz-wordy real fast, but in my newest video I try to break down how that actually looks in my experiences.
