Hi, my name is Skytrinia Berkeley. I volunteer at Different Avenues, where our mission is to build and share leadership skills as well as to organize to make change and improve and protect the health, rights and safety of women and girls in this region and thus nationally. One of the ways we do this is by making digital stories.

This digital story that I created helped me to come to terms and grasp with who I am as an individual. I believe it’s important for all people including youth to be allowed to come into terms and in touch with themselves. Even if they’re not ready to face themselves, I would hope that my story will give them an insight into a person who also was not able to face themselves, but now is ready. This story may impact you in ways that you may not be aware of. So please take the time to take a look at it and come into touch with yourself. I hope my shared experience will allow you to do that.

Digital Story: It’s a Mother Daughter Thing

Hi, I’m Grace and I work with a non-profit organization called Different Avenues. The mission of Different Avenues is to build and share leadership skills as well as to organize to make change and improve and protect the health, rights and safety of women and girls in this region and thus nationally. One of the ways we do this is by making digital stories.

I think creating a digital story could be of a help to Different Avenues because most people in my community have different views and perspectives of different sorts of things that can have an effect on there everyday living and there daily life. Most people that I have run across in my 19 years of living on this earth have not discovered a reasonable way to cope with there anger and frustration and to get their points across. Some people feel as if they’re all alone and that they have no one to call on and that their voices and actions are never heard. I truly believe creating a digital story can help them find out who they truly are inside and also help people to make a difference.
