What would I talk about?

I'll help you tell your story. If you'd like I can 'interview' you. I won't be on camera and I'll likely edit out my voice.
Here are some suggested topics for you to talk about. We won’t have time for everything, so read through the list and pick a few that spark you. You can come up with your own if you’d like. Make a few notes, but don’t write a script. You have everything you need in your head!
