Prompts for a Self-interview
These questions are offered as prompts, not as an interview to complete. Choose anything that sparks a memory, story, image, or reflection. You can write your responses, record yourself speaking, or simply use the questions to help you remember what you want to share. Photographs with captions and associated stories are also welcome.
