Voices of Emory: Our Shared Journey
Welcome to Lives of Emory, a storytelling blog dedicated to illuminating the diverse experiences within our university community. Inspired by Humans of New York, we share personal narratives of students, faculty, staff, and community members, fostering empathy, connection, and reflection. Discover the stories that shape us, celebrate our differences, and bind us together.
Uncovering our stories
Lives of Emory began with a simple yet profound idea: to humanize our campus by giving voice to individual experiences. We delve into personal narratives through short interviews or written reflections, often paired with compelling portrait photography. From moments of joy and vulnerability to struggles and ambitions, our stories explore themes like mental health, cultural identity, academic pressure, community, and purpose. Our journey starts within the Emory campus and aims to create a tapestry of shared human experience.
