When trying to find a story from your own life, it helps to start with the wisdom you want to share. We've all learned a lot from life, and all that learning started somewhere. When we find the moment, we can find the story. --- This photo was taken when I was a 16 year old acting student at Carnegie Mellon University's Summer Drama Conservatory. I loved performing, but when my audition anxiety got too intense, I quit. --- I haven't been on stage since I was 18, but I've never stopped using the lessons i learned in the theater. Whether I'm taking creative risks, collaborating with other artists, being in front of an audience or analyzing a story, I learned it first in Community Theater. --- #creativelife #alifeinthearts #communitytheater #theaternerd #forneractress #storytelling #storyhealing #storytellers #pocstorytellers #storytellingworkshop #latinastories #latinxstorytelling #hyphenateartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxat-2_BqRU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1veemh5wnkzld
