Storyteller: Mayan Tamang

Mayan is a youth worker at IBA, but he is also many other things. His story is focused on revealing the many roles he plays in his life, which are sometimes contradictory to stereotypes and to each other. He struggled a bit with the writing aspect of the digital storytelling process, although he had experience as a spoken word and hip hop artist. His "script" actually turned out to be a freestyle recording after he pitched several ideas to the story circle group and one-on-one with the facilitators.

Storyteller: Barbara Collins

Barbara wrote this story about her progression as a mother and community leader in her housing development, Villa Victoria in the South End of Boston. She started the workshop as the host with great hesitation about actually having a story about herself. Her modesty about her standing within the Villa Victoria community was challenged by her fellow IBA co-workers.
