Mini-Book: Changing the Narrative: An Elder’s Plan
Coming in Chapters beginning on Substack on November 6th.
The narratives we construct about ourselves not only shape our identities but also influence how we perceive and interact with the world. There is a profound connection between personal storytelling and self-discovery, while overpowering the limiting cultural narratives imposed upon us.
David Carr: “The story you tell yourself is the narrative that shapes your experience of the world.”
James Baldwin: “The stories we tell ourselves shape our perception of loss and gain.”
Margaret Atwood: “A word after a word after a word is power. The narratives we construct wield immense influence over our lives.”
Toni Morrison: “If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down. The stories we hold onto can either lift us or keep us grounded.”

Yes. And one of my favorite quotes. “Our stories are not our stories, they’re our stories of our stories.”
