I have created Mini Memoirs as a small social enterprise that I hope to grow into a not-for-profit organisation. After studying the psychology of trauma, development and positive growth, I thought that creating bite-sized memoirs for people who are ill, who have experienced trauma, or are ageing would provide a platform for people to share and learn from their experiences. Mini Memoirs is also for
families to pass down their history; stories that are lost over generations will be preserved in beautiful books. As someone who lost her mother young, I wish I had documented some of her wisdom, stories of her youth, and how she managed her battle with cancer. Of course, Mini Memoirs can also be used to keep your happiest memories safe and alive forever. Your childbirth experience, the story of your grandparent's courtship or your travel adventures. The possibilities are endless. The process is simple, I will conduct one or two interviews with you, using different techniques and question styles based on the experience you want to document and then we can add photos and compile the memoir into a short, beautiful book that you can keep forever or share. A mini memoir can be a gift to yourself, your parents, your friend, or whomever you feel has a story that should never be forgotten.
