Presented by Auntie Charity Hystamine
Discussing Found Family as a trope in media with examples in many genres. And how to take these idea to the real world via growing support groups, con families, and RL friend groups. Found family is a powerful trope often used in the Heroines Journey. It has been used in almost all genres and emphasizes community involvement as a tool to reach the climax of the plot. In real life we often try and become The Hero of our own story and feel bereft when we cannot be the solution to all life’s problems. This panel will focus on HOW to build our own found family. My personal motto is “Be Extra, Be All The Way Extra and you will find your people”.
