About Jennifer K Miles

I am an educator, researcher and writer, passionate about storytelling and its power to change perspectives of self. Through undertaking the journey of my own transformative learning, I now work with adults to support them in drawing forth stories of the strength and potential gained in their lives, as they move towards the creation of their stories as yet untold. My three beautiful adult boys are the most precious part of my story, and continue to walk with and support me in undertaking my PhD research. I write about story and transformative learning ... the circumstances of our lives and the stories remembered; influences on the construction of our self-identities - positive and negative; critiquing the assumptions and limitations we have come to accept about ourselves, our potential, and our place in life; daring to imagine a story untold.

A story of unimaginable courage through adversity

Standard

I’ve just watched this on ABC’s Big Ideas – Emmanuel Jal speaking his story about his early life as a child soldier. While I have lived my privileged, sheltered life, Emmanuel has endured this existence, and ultimately exposed unimaginable courage.
