🗣️ Ethical Storytelling: Amplifying Voices, Not Stealing Them
A Monthly Conversation on Cultural Integrity, Allyship, and Respect
🗓 When: Third Tuesday of every month
🕖 Time: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM EST
📍 Where: Zoom (Free – Donations Encouraged)
📚 Tell the Story Right.
Indigenous communities have been observed, filmed, and written about for centuries — but rarely have they had control of their own narratives. This monthly session invites allies, creatives, educators, and donors to join a candid discussion on how to uplift Indigenous stories ethically and responsibly.
Led by Indigenous speakers, media professionals, and community advocates, this is a space to learn, unlearn, and grow together.
🎯 What We Explore:
What is ethical storytelling and why does it matter?
How do we avoid extractive narratives?
The difference between amplifying and appropriating
Allyship in action: language, permissions, credit
How donors and content creators can support story sovereignty
Real-world case studies from campaigns, journalism, and film
👥 Who It’s For:
Journalists and content creators
Nonprofits and advocacy orgs
Donors seeking deeper alignment
Teachers, students, and cultural stewards
Anyone sharing Indigenous content online
💡 Our Commitment:
This isn’t a lecture. It’s an open circle rooted in humility, accountability, and action.
“If you’re telling our story, we deserve a seat at the table.” — Shanenawá storyteller
