what i do

Book me for the conversations we need to have that we're not having. I'm available for panels, keynotes, presentations, podcasts, and assessing + advising on: All Nonprofit Development (programming, operationalizing, evaluation, fund development planning, etc), Organizational Leadership, Just Storytelling, Identity-Based Writing, Narrative Change, Cultural Organizing, Community Engagement and specific issues of: Refugee & Immigrant Rights (anti deportation, anti trafficking, etc), Women's Rights, Feminism, Movement Building, Lao Diaspora Communities, Southeast Asia Geopolitics, and more.

Do stakeholders know exactly what you do or are they still thoroughly confused? Get direct and clear about who you are, what you exactly do, and why you do it. I help with quick and easy boilerplate language, team orientation to shared language, and strengthening language for compelling and digestible proposals.

For organizations that lack in-house writers or need a writing overhaul. Maybe you just need a catchy motto or sometimes you need to take a chainsaw to edit down that proposal or your executive team struggles with speeches and thought leadership. Talk to me about ongoing support for all your writing, copy, and thought leadership needs. 

The most impressive organizational stories are the most memorable ones that make wholesome, relatable brands. Your constituents, stakeholders, and other targeted communities should remember your story and how your impact made them feel and take action. That’s why your organization’s visuals and language should speak of your vision, make sense, and carry itself with ease. From having an accessible logo to a simple deck template or a language glossary, it all makes a world of difference for sustaining your identity and voice.

Need to amplify your organizational story, stories of your communities, or that sticky icky social change issue that you can't seem to get enough people to care about? As a storyteller, I get deep into the heart of what makes people stop and think. We’ll walk through what you care about, who you impact, and your goals for change so we can develop content that reaches the roots and the soil. Through a storytelling campaign that builds community, we’ll bring others along with you. 

Narratives are made up of salient stories told time and time again. Changing culture requires meticulous planning and an in-depth look at existing narratives that are helpful and harmful. I’ll identify, assess, and prioritize porous opportunities and key audiences that will surface critical and engaging dialog that educates, motivates, and activates communities towards narrative change-- all in a usable plan.
