Welcome back to Chapter 8 of Raising Rebeca Books! In this chapter, we meet Crystal Canney, the Executive Director of The Retta Collective, a new non-profit whose mission is to address cultural equality and justice through the lens of storytelling. The Retta Collective believes that women, minorities, and rural communities deserve an enhanced voice in the multimedia landscape as stakeholders, witnesses, and agents of change. The Retta Collective accomplishes this through a diverse set of storytelling platforms, including publishing, film, TV, podcasting, educational opportunities, and digital products.
