A Sense of Story. Story helps form a foundation in families, it develops a strong family narrative. When we tell stories, we remember; we feel, and we connect. It's all about making connections. In this passionate TEDx talk, Eunice Hudak shows us that when you create a space for story you help define your world; you help define the world of those that came before you, the ones that are next to you, and the ones who are to come. There is power in the telling of stories. Eunice Hudak is a teacher, author, playwright and community organizer. Born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico – the surprise baby to a family of four – she grew up under the guidance of big voices and even bigger expectations on the curves and angles of Yonkers, New York.
Educated in New York City she received a BA in teaching English from CUNY Hunter College and a Master’s degree in Composition Rhetoric from CUNY Lehman College. She served as adjunct professor at CUNY Lehman for seven years where she specialized in composition and literature courses focusing on the American narrative voice of minority authors.
Her work in community included time at an all girls after school program running theater and writing classes, helping young ladies craft original pieces into performances in the south Bronx.
Eunice crafts and creates stories both for storytelling and for the stage. Her play “The South Gate” was featured in the Going to the River Festival for female playwrights. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
