Narrative Strategy Services
As a narrative strategist and story coach, I help leaders and organizations in movement spaces tell stories for justice, healing, and liberation.
My work with clients is rooted in wholeness and the decolonizing, liberatory power of narrative. I help them counter harmful, dominant narratives with stories that are rooted in the wisdom and struggles of marginalized communities. Collectively, these stories create powerful narratives that promote a more just, equitable future, and reveal new ways the world can and should work.
