Across Narrative Generations
What I Learned From My Mentor is a community project linked to the Across Generations Hot Topic. Initially, we edited five short videos from Narrative Camp 2019 to capture learnings from cherished mentors. From these accounts, we began the What I Learned from My Mentor YouTube playlist (see below). These short videos honor our mentors through stories about specific learnings that shape us in our work and lives. In particular, we wish to recognize unsung heroes and heroines across Narrative generations, while paying particular attention to people of color – mentors and mentees – whose voices have often been rendered invisible by our history and institutions. Let’s keep growing this playlist! Please look below for the form to send in your contribution through video or audio recordings.
