We chatted with Raine, Dara, and Hayley for this special conversation.
1. Your nonprofit expresses the stories of many different groups and populations. Which of the groups do you feel is the most misunderstood?
2. Why is storytelling so important?
3. How can people reach out to you to tell their stories?
4. Do you think everyone has a voice? Isn’t social media a sign that too many opinions can be a bad thing?
5. How old were you when you wrote your very first story? What triggered you to create those characters?
6. Too Much Information, the anchor to TMI Project’s mission, still makes for pretty great stories. What’s the wildest story (not Covid related directly but can be – be mindful of our audience) that you heard in the last 12 months?
