The following is an excerpt from the original blog article via On The Vine Creative, by Stephanie Rexroth:
On Metamorphis: discovery of self, career/life passion, vision, village... (in that order)
Agents of Change
Stories of everyday people effecting change
The third, again, is similar in the oppression-empowerment-change model, but is much lighter and is going to be easier to maintain and sprinkle in throughout the heaviness of the other topics and intensity of the research required for those endeavors. The blog will be a collection of personal accounts with the goal of inspiring others to recognize that they, too, can effect change... empowering them to look around and do something to improve themselves, their communities and beyond.
In a model similar to tonic.com, I want to tell the everyday stories of people who see a problem in their local communities, and, instead of waiting for someone else to solve it, they have taken the initiative to do something to effect change & help people. I've always been drawn to these kinds of stories and I have met many people locally and through networking whose stories have yet to be told. I want to give voice to their stories.
