Molly is a journalism student who has been thinking about how to change the story of her generation. She’s not alone. A growing number of young people are looking for ways to make a difference in the world, and they’re starting to think about how storytelling can be used to do that. Molly is right: the story of our generation is one of disappointment and disillusionment. We’ve seen too many promises unfulfilled, and we’re tired of being told that everything will be okay in the end. We want change now - not just because we’re impatient, but because we know that if we don’t take action now, our generation will be remembered as the ones who let things get worse instead of better. So what can we do? We can start by telling different stories - stories that show us as heroes instead of victims, stories that show us as people who are capable of making a difference even when things seem impossible. And we can do this by using storytelling as a tool for activism - using it to build bridges between different communities, to raise awareness about important issues, and to inspire others to join us in changing the world. ..
