A digital storytelling workshop
Because we need more authentic human voices in a sea of AI
I am tired of filtering through AI to find real, authentic, imperfect voices, content, and stories. Truthfully, it’s become an exhausting task. Where has all of our creativity gone? Swept away in the incessant demand to create more, we have surely lost the plot.
Creativity and art are our God given gifts. They are the source of healing, expression, and preservation…. and we are just willingly handing it all over to machine. The instant gratification of it all really is not that gratifying for any of us. The artist is no longer healing through the process of making or doing. And the audience, well, we are all getting the nutrient deprived fast food version of art. No one is satiated.
I have been doing this internet thing as a career for a long time, a little over 16 years at this point. I have witnessed apps, trends, and personalities come and go. But the one thing that has kept me afloat has been an authentic pov, and the willingness to create on my own accord. And while it may not always be trendy or garner virality, my work is resonate. Emotion provoking. Satiating. And honestly, that’s what I want for more of us. To create meaningful, timeless things that people will return to again and again.
In 2024 I taught The Art of Digital Storytelling for the first time at Birmingham Southern University, and have since taught it a few times online. What I have learned is that we are all becoming tired of stale, redundant, viral content that lacks depth. We are craving something more meaningful, something that feels personal, intentional, and authentic, and while this workshop can’t promise this for everyone….I can say with confidence that it will give you the foundation and the tools to make work that stands out.
With this said, I will be teaching this workshop twice virtually this year. The first time being March 2 at 7:30pm est. This may be aligned with your creative journey if you’re:
aspiring content creators looking to craft compelling visual stories
Creatives and entrepreneurs wanting to strengthen their digital presence
Influencers seeking to add depth and authenticity to their content
Anyone looking to refine their storytelling voice and improve their creative process
