Thursday Email – We Are The STORIES We Tell Ourselves
Namaste!
“People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact it’s the other way round.”– Terry Pratchett
KnowYourStar originally started in a search of stories to inspire our own journeys. Then we started sharing it on our website, which indulged our love for the written word. Our work has expanded ever since and we found our calling in the education sphere to serve students to find their calling! But what we cannot forget is that the path we carved for ourselves all began with the stories we chose to amplify, and we are undoubtedly the product of these stories.
Today we feel proud of the repository of the various role models we have featured over the past 5+ years. But we feel nothing but deep gratitude for what these stories have managed to transform within us and within you. 🙂
Last month, we found treasure in the form of White Print – a braille magazine for the visually impaired, founded and published by Upasana Makati. She has recorded such amazing interviews in the magazine, which we thought must be read by more people. She graciously agreed to let us publish them on our website!
If you have access to inspiring role model stories that needs to reach more people, get in touch with us and we will be happy to collaborate with you to enable these stories to create more waves of inspiration. If you don’t have stories, but know of people who you think we should interview, you can put us in touch with them too! 🙂
In other news, we are delighted to read the applications we are receiving for our Lanternship programme. Do apply if you want to take your volunteerism to the next level, and share it with your volunteer circle!
