Collection

Unstoppable Protagonists Who Author their Own Story

Solutions Journalism Network

Some characters are not silent in their story, and rise up to ensure that their perspective is shared with more of the world. The protagonists in this collection are from traditionally underrepresented or excluded communities, and the stories begin with their assets and aspirations before sharing their challenges. This collection has a range in geographic scope from showing how young people from South Africa write Wikipedia entries with their perspectives, to how people who are undocumented in the United States film documentaries. All of these protagonists are authors of their own stories.
