What a rich reflection on the interplay between story and action. You’ve captured something vital about why I'm drawn to both. I love how you’ve charted your own journey from the confident speaker of a decade ago to someone who’d stepped back, only to discover fresh energy in revisiting the very thing you thought you’d exhausted. That moment of self-doubt (“am I even a storyteller or an activist?”) is so familiar. The workshop anecdote, capped by the simple question “can stories change the world?” and answered with “how can they not?” is a powerful invitation. It reminds me that our small acts of imagination, are the first domino in a much larger, world-changing sequence. Thank you for bringing me back to that essential truth: before anything else, activism is born in the mind’s eye.
