Episode Synopsis

One of the more challenging conversations we’ve had at Starfire over the
past year is the importance of storytelling and the delicate line we must
tow in telling someone else’s story. The question of “who holds your story”
tugs at me and is especially important for nonprofits to consider.  Are
we crafting people’s stories to fit our own purpose? How do we, as
nonprofit leaders, as social media marketers, as fundraisers and donor
relations professionals and grant writers, as public relations
professionals, share a story that is honest and truthful and respectful and
genuine?  How do we tell the truth of the matter, give real life context,
without violating the depths of someone’s personal experience
with trauma or pain?
