Do Black women need a communications strategy? We might. Whether it be the negative media portrayals of Black women of ALL walks of life, the failure to consider the vast range of Black women's personhood and experience, or the willingness to believe the worst of us before and even after we've had an opportunity to tell our side of the story, we may need help to be seen accurately in the public sphere.

If only we could be Chelsea Fuller's client. Chelsea is the Managing Partner & Senior Strategist, for Black Alder, a radical story-telling and communications strategy firm. In this engaging conversation, Chelsea shares her experiences in formulating powerful and accurate narratives at the heart of some of the most impactful movements of our time. You will have seen her work in innumerable impact outlets telling the actual story of the The Movement for Black Lives, The Me Too Movement and and other formations working to end systemic violence,.

In this conversation, we discuss the importance of story-telling and narrative accuracy to make the social and justice impacts that are both necessary for societal change and honor the loss and harm experienced by the communities and families directly impacted.
