Labels ignite assumptions that can quickly lead to judgments and then separation (from ourselves and others). Authentic, Personal Storytelling works quite opposite. It can open Perspective on any subject, it’s the foundation for Empathy and Compassion, leading to Human Connection. Focusing on our similarities more than our differences. The Humanities we share.
How We Do It
Entertainment, media + pop culture become our pathways to entertain and elevate. When there’s no overt agenda (like, “I want to teach you something because the way you are thinking is wrong.”), we are more open to receiving. Our filters and defenses are down, allowing stories and messages and possibilities and new ideas enter from the side, allowing and encouraging us to look and see differently. It helps us shift our focus from where “they” are different, to where we can relate.
We’re getting ready to launch a national RoadTrip in 2023 (The All Over the Place Tour), featuring Pop-Up Studios, ULM Truth Booths, and gatherings/events in local communities around the USA. We’re bringing together the Best of Old + New School. Our social media presence will work hand-in-hand with this Grassroots initiative, allowing us to raise awareness on a Glocal basis. Aligning Tribes and building Community in Communities as well as online.
