TEDxThirdWard Talk Drop: Gina Carroll on Why Your Story Matters
In this powerful talk, TEDxThirdWard speaker Gina L. Carroll uncovers why you must write your life stories and how to actually get them down — started and finished. Her talk has garnered the most views from our first cohort who took the stage in March of this year: 115,853 views as of today (Sept 30, 2025).
She shares deep insights, inspiring stories, and surprising facts about why your voice is needed in the storytelling universe.
Gina, an author, editor, and writing coach, believes every story has an audience and is an important thread in the fabric of history. Whether you’re just beginning or trying to finish a manuscript, her message is about urgency, focus, and motivation to finally tell your story.
Poll Question: If you hadn't yet, what’s the biggest challenge keeping you from writing your own story?
I don’t know where to start
I can’t find the time or focus
I get stuck in the middle and don’t finish
