Looking for inspirational stories

Hello,

I'm a writer for a website that features a monthly series of stories that profile individuals who have overcome a variety of childhood and young adults challenges. They vary from bullying to mental health challenges to anything that might make you feel isolated from the rest of the world.

What I'm looking for are people who would be willing to be interviewed for this series about their experiences, and how they overcame them. The site is targeted towards a younger audience, and I'm hoping some of these stories might inspire kids who are facing similar challenges.

You can read more about it at: zonedcomics.com

These stories would be featured in the blog section of the website and primarily written in text with, hopefully, a few pictures to go with them.

If anyone is curious, you can e-mail me at: JGonspy (at) gmail (dot) com

Or you can send me a message on here.

Thanks for your time.

Hello Jose, 

I am a poet, child psychiatrist, and humanism in medicine awardee. As a young child I was sexually assaulted. I also experienced bullying from my father whom I also loved very much. I wrote a healing from trauma story, Bird That Wants to Fly, that inspired a children's opera and is narrated by the actor, Danny Glover. The story is quite tender, as the bird can fly, but because of being bullied and other forms of violence, is too afraid to fly, so instead just walks. The music and lyrics are beautiful. Here is a link to the opera: https://youtu.be/rFZt69uBpnc which in the introduction includes my describing how the opera came to be. The opera is 30 minutes. Here's my website www.artsmedicineforhealthandhealing.com. Perhaps Zoned Comics or someone you might know, would be interested in creating a comic adventure series for Bird That Wants to Fly!

If you would like to connect, my email is artsmedicine@hotmail.com.

Thank you!

Jose,

I love your web site and what you are doing. I'd be very happy to talk to you. Do know that I'm a 70 year old woman who survived incest. So my age may be out of the range you're looking for. But I've presented my one woman show to youth as young as 8 years old to great response. You can learn more about me and my work at my web site www.timetotell.org. And you can contact me directly at donnajenson8@gmail.org

All the best to you,

Regards,

Donna
