It is through stories that we change the world. I went into journalism to tell the stories that protect, uplift and inspire our communities. But I wanted to get more into the mix, to work on behalf of the organizations actually implementing the change. At a globally recognized cancer research center, at the best-known coffee company in the world, at one of the country’s largest philanthropic foundations – I have implemented authentic, journalistic-style storytelling that fuels this funnel from message to change. Now through my company, Matter – Storytelling For Good, I help organizations of all kinds and sizes do this on behalf of their own missions and causes. It is my way of contributing to the better world we all seek. Good Stories. Matter.
