Narratives For Change

Narratives For Change NFC uses storytelling for healing, creating literary art, consciousness-raising, advocacy & activism. Vision: People fulfilling their best stories.

I use written, spoken, and visual narratives as strategies to heal, create, and grow the talent living in individuals and systems. As a coach, facilitator, and teaching artist, I am interested in narrative methods for a variety of sense-making applications. Some projects include:
• creative writing workshops
• strategic scenario planning
• expressive writing for emotional wellness
• autoethnograph

y
• writing for social change
• women and girl's leadership
• narrative coaching circles
• life writing, ethical wills, personal historian
• personal brand stories

I designed the Transformative Narratives™ method, an applied storytelling approach for healing, creative development, and personal growth. Recently published is a book chapter, “Women’s Self-Leadership Through Transformative Narratives,” in Changing the World With Words: A Transformative Language Arts Reader, Vol 2, Eds. Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg and Ruth Farmer (2014), and a Haiku poem in Sonia Sanchez's anthology, Peace is a Haiku Song (2013). My current writing project is a collection of personal essays, Transformative Narratives: A Woman Emerging As Leader of Her Whole Life (2016).

Check out my poetry workshop on the “Bop Poem”—a unique storytelling poetic form originating out of Cave Canem, home for Black poets, offered by master poet Afaa Michael Weaver. My time with a Cave Canem program was magical & transformative as a poet. Now it’s your turn—come workshop and learn how to tell your story with rhythm and flair!
