"Telling Your Story to Make a Difference" - Capecci & Cage

“The enormity of problems like hunger and social injustice can certainly motivate us to act. We can be convinced logically of the need for intervention and change. But it is the story of one individual that ultimately makes the difference— by offering living proof.” - John Capecci and Timothy Cage, authors of Living Proof: Telling Your Story to Make a Difference


We all have stories that may motivate others to make changes, and it is up to us to share those stories.  If you question the power of one person's story, think of George Floyd.  Social injustice has existed for hundreds of years.  Unfortunately, it wasn't until we saw George Floyd's story unfold that thousands were moved to take action.  People took to the streets in demonstrations, started dialogues and most of all examined their own lives to see how they could become part of our society's solution. Let's hope that by sharing our stories we will continue to motivate each other to make a difference where we can.
