There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
It’s time to tell our stories… as many as we can. If you’d like to participate, please let me know and I will arrange a time for an interview. Below you will find the list of questions you’ll be asked.
Schedule your interview today by emailing me at:
saltyessays@gmail.com
This interview is casual and can easily be broken into up to three different video calls. I will take notes as we go over the ten questions and then i will take my time honoring you by doing an authentic and respectful write-up which you have the final editorial say over.
INTERVIEW QUESTIONAIRE:
These interviews will be conducted over video call, but published in written form, not as a video. Before publishing I will be sharing exactly what I have written from our video call, so there will be absolutely no surprises.
This list of questions is just to prepare those who want to participate with the exact questions that will be asked.
Thank you for your honestly, willingness, and openness. Our stories deserve to be told.
