The Grassroots DC offers digital storytelling workshops to community-based social change organizations. Here’s one that was produced by Skytrinia Berkeley, a member of Different Avenues.

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.
