Possibility Project: Shift from Pain Profiting to Power-Sharing Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

In the nonprofit sector, we use stories and images to capture the interest (and care) of community members and potential donors.

How often are those stories and images used in extractive ways, that reproduce the dynamics of giver/receiver, service provider/recipient?
How do the stories we tell and the images we choose, replicate harm and perpetuate false narratives?
Who is collecting, shaping, and telling stories, and for whose benefit?
How can story be rooted in powerful and authentic co-creation, and be shaped by the voices and leadership of those at the center of the work?

We are thrilled to highlight the perspectives of:

Ivellisse Morales, Founder & CEO of bombilla
Tania Anaissie, Founder and CEO at Beytna Design
