I’m collecting responses about the experiences, conversations, and moments that have stayed with people over the years.

They don’t have to be major life events. Sometimes a five-minute conversation with a stranger, an interaction at work, an embarrassing experience, a difficult decision, or something that seemed insignificant at the time can change the way we think about ourselves or other people.

I’m especially interested in the moments that made you stop, think, question something, change your mind, speak up, keep going, or see another person differently.

There are no right or wrong answers, and you don't need to answer every question. Please answer as many as you would like. Short answers are completely fine, but stories and specific examples are encouraged.
