Creating results through ethical communications needs more than just good intentions. That's why together, we'll create clear project plans with ethical and effective practices built in from the start.

Whether it's meeting your fundraising targets, creating advocacy campaigns that get attention, or developing a strong organizational communications strategy, I will help you get the results you're aiming for.

What is Dignified Storytelling ?

The nonprofit community is filled with passionate people who seek justice and well-being for our world. We've now recognized that our own organizations can perpetuate the very harms we are trying to address - especially in the ways we talk about our work.

That's why in nonprofit communications, it's important to be intentional not just about what we say, but also how we say it. This carries through from the beginning of a project all the way through to the final product. 

Many teams struggle to get this balance right, but there are frameworks that can help. The approach I've adopted is Dignified Storytelling.

The 10 Principles of Dignified Storytelling is both a set of principles and a guiding framework for nonprofit organizations to help organizations practice ethical communications. As a communications professional, I've taken the pledge, and have helped organizations integrate these principles into their own activities with powerful outcomes for the communities they work with and their internal teams.
