If you have a First Person story you’d like to share with our CBC New Brunswick audience, contact us and make a pitch. (CBC)What are First Person stories?
They are stories of New Brunswickers or those with a strong connection to New Brunswick — told in their own words.
First Person stories can spotlight a slice of life or a moment that changed a life.
They can start a conversation, introduce some readers to an unfamiliar world, change the way others look at the world they know. They can make some feel less alone when they see themselves as they read.
Here are some examples of First Person columns by New Brunswickers:
- A hurricane destroyed our home and nearly killed us. 4 years later, I’m living with PTSD
- I was wide awake during my brain surgery for Parkinson’s.
