Are you our next Featured Storyteller?

At World Pulse, we believe in the power of your voice.

This August, we're telling the real stories behind global headlines and sharing about the moments that have made us who we are today. Whether you're raising your voice for the first time or the hundredth, this is your invitation to put your experiences to words and connect through story.

When you share on World Pulse, you could even be selected for a Story Award*, which includes promotion and an honorarium of up to $300 USD!

Here’s what we’re talking about this month:

Becoming Me

Some experiences mark us in quiet, powerful ways. A conversation, a challenge, a discovery—moments like these can shift our path, change how we see the world, or help us understand ourselves more deeply.

We invite you to share about a moment that changed you. It might be big or small. Joyful or painful. Personal or political. What matters is that it shaped your life in a meaningful way.

The Stories Behind the Headlines

Are you on the front lines of unfolding world events? From climate emergencies and elections to historic achievements and crises, we are living in urgent—and momentous—times.

As history unfolds, we want to hear from you. You are the expert on your experience, and your voice adds crucial depth and humanity to global understanding.

Learn more.

Want to Write About Something Else?

That’s welcome too! You don’t need to respond to a story prompt to share. You are the expert on your lived experience—and we want to hear whatever story is most important to you right now.

Tell the story only you can tell.

Will you share a story to one of the calls for stories above? Let us know in the comments!
