Welcome to Season 2 of the Braving the Waves Podcast! This season, we're adding a new layer to storytelling: an anonymous memory box.
To complement the storytelling program at Unsinkable (www.weareunsinkable.com) & Resolvve's (www.resolvve.ca) work supporting students, Mikaela will be offering another way to Brave the Waves: crafting words for moments that feel like they don't have any, especially for those who don't feel comfortable writing, speaking, or publicly sharing.
You'll have the opportunity to submit anonymous voice notes, memories, journal entries, photos, drawings, or anything that you feel captures a specific, meaningful moment in your life:
Each week, Mikaela will gather materials from each submission in the memory box (tinyurl.com/bravingthewaves). She will then allow them to inspire a poem, which she will write and read aloud on the podcast each week. Alternatively, you're welcome to share writing/audio files that you'd like used verbatim. For example: a written piece that you'd like Mikaela to read aloud as is, or an audio file that you'd like us to weave into an episode.
As you listen to our weekly episodes, listen carefully: one will feature the experiences you shared. We hope that this will craft a comforting way to pause in a moment, preserve a memory, and feel seen/heard in it as it's given words and read aloud.
If you'd like to share, please head to tinyurl.com/bravingthewaves to read more & submit. :)
