Seven Steps

It was easy to understand how the CDS Digital Storytelling Workshop is successful in achieving an actualized digital storytelling piece by the end of the 4-5 day journey. 

The seven steps were broken down as follows:

Owning Your Insights
Owning Your Emotions
Finding The Moment
Seeing Your Story
Hearing Your Story
Assembling Your Story
Sharing Your Story

This process allows the story facilitator complete control - they learn that the story is theirs to tell, and in order to give it the attention it deserves, they need to know it, feel it, see and hear it, and arrange it - in a way that is beneficial to the plot or original idea.

The concept of knowing who to share with is also very interesting, because it is blended with knowing the story you have to tell and who you think would benefit from hearing it.

I couldn’t stay quiet anymore.   I just couldn’t. We marched, across the United States of America, and in other countries too.   We marched, to show everyone that we wouldn’t stand for it any longer.   We marched because we are stronger together and there really is strength in numbers.  We are still marching.   Women a

Final Selfie

Final Selfie This course definitely wasn't what I was expecting it to be, if I am being honest.  But from the very first project I chose I realized how it could help with my activism, and in other areas of my life.  My second project was something a little more family oriented, and I figured I could use what I learned in this class to create beautiful pieces for my family, to document things.  Since I have Lupus, I often think of things to leave behind, to document our time here. Immediately and then throughout the course, I felt like I would like to document my participation in the Walk to End Lupus Now, NYC.  I can't imagine a better project to bring to light the magnitude of support and effort it takes to live a life with Lupus, or to live someone who has it.  Every year, since my diagnosis I have joined the thousands of walkers raising money to help find a cure.  I hope and pray that I see that happen in my lifetime, not only for me but for the countless
