HOST: One year ago,
Rooted in Rights launched our Storytellers Series
to provide people with disabilities
from around the world a platform
for expressing their voices on disability issues
that are important to them.
MIZUKI: My name is Mizuki Hsu...
JENSEN: My name is Jenson Caraballo...
NOAH: I'm Noah Seidel
EMILY: My name is Emily Ladau,
and I'm a Rooted in Rights Storyteller.
HOST: And now you too can be a Storyteller!
Hi!
I’m Cuquis Robledo and I am the Coordinator
for the Rooted in Rights Storytellers Series.
I work with our storytellers
to develop their ideas into scripts,
then send them a video kit that includes
everything they need to shoot
and host their own videos.
Our team of professionals
takes care of the editing and graphics
so there’s no experience necessary -
just a passion for disability rights!
To submit an idea for our Storytellers Series,
film a one minute video
describing your story and idea.
Videos must include
answers to the following questions:
One, what is the issue you’d like to discuss?
Two, why is your issue or story important
and how does it relate to disability rights?
Three, why are you the right person to tell the story?
Four, who is your audience?
Five, what is your call to action,
or what do you want your audience
to do after they watch your video?
Don't worry about making it look professional or fancy.
You can easily use a smart phone, a laptop,
a camcorder, or any filming device
you have available.
After you're done filming, upload your video
to Youtube and make your link
either public or unlisted.
Include the link in the submission form at:
rootedinrights.org/FilmYourStory
If you're having trouble accessing the form,
email your video to: Storytellers@RootedinRights.org
The deadline to submit your idea
is August 7th at 11:59 PM ET.
We are so excited to hear all of your great ideas,
and we cannot wait to
get to work with our next Storytellers!
