After A Brief Dance with Tumbler

I decided to come back to blogspot, thus the lack of posts.

At this point you're wondering:

1. Who is this girl?
2. Why is she blogging about fascinating people?
3. Why should I care?

My name is Stephanie and I am a student at the University of Michigan. This year I was lucky enough to receive a fellowship from the Center for Ethics in Public Life.

The work I do as a CEPL fellow revolves around storytelling. Stories are incredibly important to our lives, and inform the way we see the world.

For the 2010-2011 academic year I will be making storytelling more prominent in the Ann Arbor community. Myself and some friends have created MothUP Ann Arbor, a community storytelling group loosely associated with The Moth based in NYC. Basically this means that I get to provide a forum for community storytelling, and then listen to incredible people talk about their lives.

When I'm not working on projects for MothUP Ann Arbor I go around interviewing fascinating people. After the interview is over I post their profiles and stories on this blog. I am one lucky girl!
