Racial equity narratives that spurred organizational change
Personal narratives from employees are often the most powerful ways to share your organization’s message and purpose. Yet while audiences often just see the end result—a compelling first-person narrative—it requires inward reflection and leadership support before these stories can take root in a genuine way. Members of Lumina Foundation staff have shared their “equity narratives”—personal journeys around race in America. This is part of a collective effort to explore the country’s long history of structural racism and how these barriers affect the people they serve.
Increasing inclusion through employee-driven storytelling
As brands explore how their values align with what it means to build a more equitable society, one place to start is to look inward. Earlier this month, we shared on Altered the lessons we learned from reviewing our editorial process and asking ourselves if we were being inclusive in the stories we tell. I recently sat down with Tracy Chen, Director of Media Strategy at Lumina Foundation, to pull back the curtain on their process for creating a powerful equity narrative video series.
