Teyra Anderson

PZ Work

As a fellow with the Center for Digital Thriving, Teyra is working on MYA: IRL, a youth-guided digital mini-series that explores the complexities of growing up in a hyperconnected world. Told through a mix of visual storytelling, character-driven drama, and authentic teen insight, the series follows a young girl navigating friendship, love, family, identity, and selfhood. Co-developed with young collaborators, the project blends creative storytelling with participatory research to reimagine coming-of-age narratives and reflect the real digital lives of today’s youth.
