๐งก Every story holds a โwhy.โ Together, our stories can inspire action.
At Mondayโs BeWellPBC Community Connectors meeting, we welcomed special guest Abby Goodwin from Palm Health Foundation for a rich conversation about storytelling, connection, and community leadership.
Abby shared the Public Narrative framework, part of the learning our BeWellPBC team has been participating in alongside partner organizations in the Culture of Health Network.
Through stories of Self, Us, and Now, we explored what calls us to serve, the values that bring us together, and how we can turn shared purpose into action.
Our Community Connectors brought this conversation to life through their own experiences. Their reflections say it best:
๐ฌ โIt really gave me more confirmation on why I do what I do. Being a connector is awesome.โ โ Yolanda Bates
๐ฌ โThis training reminded me that meaningful change is not created by one person leading from the front, but by many voices sharing their stories, building connections, and taking collective team action.โ โ Rosa White
๐ฌ โMy takeaways we must learn to listen, first then give the directive.โ โ Deborah Skinner
From renewed purpose to the importance of listening first, their words remind us how much wisdom lives within our neighborhoods. When residents share their stories and listen to one another, we strengthen the connections that help move our communities forward.
Thank you, Abby for bringing this learning into our circle, and thank you to our Community Connectors for sharing with honesty, care, and heart.
