December 2019

During the heath fair that the Wellies hosted, I was able to talk to five of them about their experience being Wellness Advocates. Instead of speaking to them individually, I approached the group of them and recorded the conversation we had together. I started by asking them why they wanted to be Wellies and from there, they told me about their motivation and about things they have done or things they want to do while they hold this title. I really liked this style of interview because it felt less like an interview and more like a conversation. They would build on what other people say and add on their own perspective of things that were brought up and it felt very natural. I did not feel like I was controlling the conversation at all.
