Cómo la narración puede hacerte más resiliente | Rochelle Gregory | TEDxTWU

Rochelle Gregory, madre adolescente que más tarde obtuvo un doctorado, explora cómo compartir historias personales puede fomentar la empatía y la resiliencia. Basándose en su experiencia con la vergüenza, el estigma y la discriminación, invita a los académicos a llevar sus investigaciones más allá del aula mediante la narración, la escritura y las redes sociales. Sostiene que todas las personas tienen una historia y que compartirlas abiertamente ayuda a construir comunidades más informadas, solidarias y resilientes. La charla se presentó en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente.

• Experiencia personal como madre adolescente y primera graduada de su familia
• La escritura como herramienta para desafiar el estigma y la vergüenza
• Llevar la investigación académica al debate público

Drawing on her experience as a teenage mother who confronted shame, stigma, and discrimination, Rochelle Gregory explores how sharing our personal stories can cultivate empathy, build resilience, and inspire change. She challenges academics to bring their experiences and research beyond the classroom and into public conversations through storytelling, writing, and social media. She argues everyone has a story, and when we share them openly, we build communities that are more informed, more caring, and more resilient. Dr. Rochelle Gregory grew up on a farm in rural central Texas, became a teen parent, and was the first in her family to graduate from college. She went on to earn a PhD and now teaches writing in all its forms. Dr. Gregory's work centers on how writing can challenge stigma, reject shame, and affirm justice and dignity. She believes writing is the tide that raises all boats. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
