The Quiet Life Episode 32: Stories Without Stereotypes with Tyson Joseph

On this episode we welcome Presenter, Writer and Director Tyson Joseph to tackle the subject of storytelling and stereotypes. Taking an important look at why stereotypes can be so damaging in society, and how the stories we share, as well as the ones we tell ourselves have the power to bring great change. Tyson is a passionate advocate for the power of hope, and a compelling speaker on all things relating to personal transformation. His insights and ideas have been developed through a challenging childhood, and a lifetime of study in New Thought Philosophy, meditation and mindfulness. His film I Am Not Your Villain for the UK charity Changing Faces resulted in the creation of a new policy by the BFI, stating they will no longer fund films in which the villains are portrayed as having facial disfigurements. His work also includes films for Goldie Hawn for Mind Up, Ruby Wax’s Frazzled Tour, The Oxford Mindfulness Institute, the NHS, Heads Together and the government-backed Mindfulness in Schools Project.
