Canvasing the Truth: Navigating the Digital Age in a World of Misinformation


“What if half the things people say turned out to be a lie? How will you know the Truth?”
The art of facilitation is in helping people bridge the gap between different levels of understanding. In a world where everyone has a voice and a means to share it, it is sometimes difficult to sift through endless streams of thoughts. Repurposing the concept of a facilitation technique known as canvasing, we will use topics in Prince’s The Truth as a tool to help self-regulate our own perceptions to critically consider the information we take in throughout the day.

As an avid gamer and programmer from the age of 4 via her family’s Tandy 2000, she has grown up with a vested interest in technology, developing websites for local arts organizations from the age of 11, graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and turning her love affair with digital solutions into a career in Human-Computer Interaction and Organizational Ergonomics.
