The Power of Seeing Yourself Represented in Stories | Rebekah Taussig | Part 1
What does it mean to you to see yourself represented in stories?
How can we find the courage to tell our stories, knowing that it matters for us to tell them?
What is the story that you want to tell about yourself? How is it different from the story the world is telling you?
...
Rebekah Taussig is a Kansas City writer, educator, and parent. Bolstered by academic knowledge and personal experience, she strives to tell stories that enhance and complicate the way we think about disability. You can find her writing on Instagram, in her memoir, or on her website.
Today, Rebekah shares about her experience growing up and the stories (or lack thereof) that most shaped her. Abbie and Rebekah discuss the idea of “pluralistic truths” and how it can be harder but also truer to acknowledge the many stories and meanings that exist at the same time. Rebekah talks about when she first began to hear stories that reflected her experience as a person using a wheelchair, why she started to share her own story more widely, and the connections that came as a result of it. Finally, Rebekah and Abbie consider the idea that we have choices about the kinds of stories we tell about ourselves.
