Our latest minisode of Tellwell: The Podcast featuring Lisa Nelson-Haynes helps to set the stage for the upcoming WellTold conference, happening April 24.
Cultivating Community Narratives
Lisa Nelson-Haynes, Chief Programs Officer at StoryCorps, has dedicated her career to fostering storytelling across diverse communities. She’s not just amplifying voices but also ensuring their authenticity and dignity remain intact. Her rich experiences in multidisciplinary arts and community engagement have paved the way for profound storytelling practices that elevate first-person narratives and highlight the importance of self-agency.
The Intersection of Stories and Ethics
During this episode, Lisa touched on the essence of ethical storytelling—a crucial theme she’s set to expand upon at the WellTold Conference. For nonprofits, this means navigating the delicate balance between portraying genuine stories and avoiding exploitative narratives. Her insights on asset-based storytelling promise to empower attendees with tools to honor the storyteller’s humanity while achieving impactful engagement.
