"The world changes according to the way people see it. If you can alter the way people look at reality, then you can change the world." - James Baldwin
Join us on Sunday, January 8th for Changing the Narrative: The Power of Story to Transform our World with celebrated culture hacker, activist and author Alnoor Ladha and beloved Billboard charting singer-songwriter John Stringer.
If you want to change the world, change the story. Narrative power is our ability to reimagine and change the norms, rules and codes of our society. How can we decolonize our minds from the life-destroying narratives of our dominant culture? What are the stories we can inhabit that hold the power to heal and transform our world? Join us in kicking off the new year at the intersections of story, social change, music and liberation.
