Join us for an inspiring episode as we welcome Brett Davidson, the visionary founder and principal of Wingseed, an organization dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of narrative, storytelling, and listening for social justice.
Brett’s journey is as compelling as his mission. Growing up in South Africa, he became a pivotal voice in radio journalism during the country’s transition to democracy. In this episode, we delve into the power of storytelling in social justice communication and why it's essential to how we think and connect.
Key takeaways include:
- The Power of Storytelling: Facts alone don't drive change; stories connect data to human experiences. Brett shares effective storytelling tips, such as telling human stories linked to broader data, making numbers relatable, connecting to audience values, and focusing on solutions and positive visions.
- The Importance of Listening: Listening shapes storytelling and creates space for voices to be heard. Understanding community needs requires deep listening, and being open to changing one’s views is crucial in social change work. We'll discuss how modern technology can limit exposure to diverse perspectives.
- Bringing Diverse Groups Together: Brett organizes international gatherings that unite activists, funders, and academics. Discover how creating intentional spaces for unlikely connections drives new collaborations and innovative ideas.
Tune in to learn how narrative and listening can drive social justice and gain insights from Brett’s rich experiences and impactful work.
