I am not a social Justice storyteller, because that requires profound lived insight. I do try to keep myself informed, engaged, and learning … and so appreciate finding new resources in that journey. I’ve read several of your articles and love them all - well written, well reasoned, and with a balance of introspection.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful message. You don’t have to identify as a social justice storyteller to be part of the work; being open, reflective, and committed to learning is powerful in itself. I deeply appreciate you reading and engaging with my writing!
With you on this. There are only three of us on the comms team at the nonprofit where I work — but it’s an increase from what it was just a couple of years ago! Lots of one-person comms teams around, and I find everyone on the outside underestimates how much it takes to run social media especially.
Will be following your thoughts on philanthropy with interest🙂
Thank you for reading! The one-person comms team struggle is tough. And even with a (small) team, the workload still feels endless. Social media alone is a full-time job! Glad to be in community with someone who gets it. Excited to keep the convo going around nonprofit comms and all the layered work in between 🙂
This is beautifully written. I loved the use of metaphor, the clear definitions, and especially the section on narrative infrastructure as essential to upholding democracy. Thank you for sharing!

Hear! Hear! Comms is def an undervalued role.
I’m glad you get it. Thank you so much for reading my work!
