If trauma is the only thing that motivates our reason to show up, you know, that's not very encouraging.
Right.
And so in a community where there is so much trauma, how can we, how can we sort of change the narrative?
How can we
change the story.
And in past years, you know, one of the things I've talked a lot about is how trauma and empowerment are sort of a part of the, they're almost like two sides of the same coin.
And that's been a big theme for me in making this movie that, you know, that we meet traumatic narratives with and head on with empowerment stories, right?
And if we can do that well, we'll kind of keep people in the room thinking about giftedness in this moment.
But something that I realized this year as we've been continuing
continuing to do this work is that the missing piece of the conversation is joy.
That we they're almost it's almost like a three-legged stool, right?
That if we can sort of think about trauma and empowerment and joy as sort of working together to sort of move communities forward, the celebratory piece is right there.
It's kind of baked into our experience every day.
You know, how do you find joy and how does it connect to your giftedness?
So this year, GTN Awareness Week's joy theme is giving us a chance to celebrate.
Different types of expression of giftedness, right?
So we have one panel that's going to be on Octavia Butler and African American African American authors that wrote write about sci fi that write in the sci-fi genre, right?
So more specialized topics.
Someone's doing a workshop on origami, like you know, things that get people charged and excited to show up and express their joy.
And a lot of the talks that I'm getting.
