Making the community a part of my designing life, I look for women who did important things! I found Winnie, and I learned to plan for advocacy. I had to tell her story, so I faced my fears, planned my story, and delivered it on social media. I gave her a message that is 64 years old! Thousands of people have viewed the story. Women Voted! Guyana News agency carried my story: https://guyananewsagency.com/videos/wah-dih-story-seh/
I can show you how to build legacies with family history, whispers stories. and hidden traditions.
I designed this story to talk about village women's literacies. We can remember the stories that can open conversations for our children to own their stories. Stories are powerful forces to personal and community development.
I offer customizable planners and printables to help you curate all kinds of lived experiences.
In this D-esign, I planned activities on how to honor a woman a week.
I journalled about aunties. That journal became this video. I thought that aunties are of all kinds. They are our relatives based on the functions they play in families and communities. We are lucky to have them. Our encounters provide us with entertainment, lessons, and moments of deep reflection. If Buxton Village in Guyana has some special aunties we need to remember, this one is she!
This D-esign gives permisssion to talk about unpleasant things. All my D-esigns begin with a planner. I journal about the woman that comes to mind.
I offer custom designed planner and printables that can take you on a wild journey to honor the stories inside of you clammoring to get out into the world.
In my D-esign planner and I set aside times to listen to my elders. I write what I hear them say.
Ordinary women pop in an out outside of my times. I got a space for them in my planner! I wrote and shared this:
Listen to stories of ordinary women living and influencing us is an excellent way to start. I listen to my granny who told me that Buxtonian adult females are called women --ooman and I never forgot! I want to let the children in my village know what women thought.
Wanna do something similar? You are in the right place.
My D-esigns take me on a journey. I am not a lover of journalling. However, I am a planner. So I focus on things that feed my soul-- storytelling. My planner took me on a journey. The result is this: me telling childhood stories on social media, to entertain, remember, and to celebrate women from the village. I reflect on the lessons learned and how they come to bear on my life and career. Enjoy! A planner or printables will help you make see and hear stories you wish to honor. Writing does't have to be boring. It can be an awesone journey!
Confession! Stories have been haunting me for a while. I had just written about mu auntie in my journal of listening to women. The thought came that I should try a facebook video. I did. It was rough, but I did it. I faced my hauntings and here I am teaching thousands.
