Susana Anayatin, Goldin Institute Global Associate for the Philippines, completed this "Digital Story" in preparation for an online conversation in May 2011. In addition to being a compelling personal narrative about how Susana's background informs her work at the Goldin Institute, this video serves as an example of the power of Digital Storytelling - a process we intend to use to lift up the voices, experiences and perspective of grassroots leaders in our global network.
