TEDxWomen -- Message to Port au Prince: Best References for Making Digital Stories

Facebook Report last night from Carlos Miranda Levy:

"TEDxWomen@PortauPrince was a success. A modest but very engaged audience enjoyed the live presentations by Emeline Desert and Cathy Healy. Students from the Ecole Supérieure d'Infotronique d'Haïti (ESIH) became interested in the MUCI Solidarity Kitchens model presented by Emeline and the audience shared with Cathy how storytelling is an important element in Haitian culture. More details soon... :-)"

Carlos' summary proves the point of my TEDx talk: Skype is like life -- real communication comes through sharing stories. I didn't know that storytellers were and still are part of the Haitian culture until my talk, which fortunately was more of a Q&A. Now that I know about Haitian skill in storytelling, I will always remember it, because I will connect that information with the sight of strangers willing to stay late to listen to me talk about storytelling and who started talking about taking action and beginning to teach digital storytelling.

I can't wait to see what happens next. Now that will be a story!
