Ethical storytelling & messaging
“The ability to see and describe one’s own reality is a significant step in the long process of self-recovery; but it is only a beginning.”
– bell hooks
Advocating for the advocates
There is real momentum building to radically reimagine how we tell and share stories in ethical and inclusive ways. Morgan brings a lived experience lens and strong moral compass to partner collaboratively with advocates, communities and organisations as a trainer, advisor and guide.
What it covers
Morgan works alongside you to ensure you:
- Feel safely supported through peer support and coaching when sharing raw and powerful stories for change
- Refine your key messaging and build confidence for future storytelling opportunities
- Are not taken advantage of or exploited by journalists or the media
- Build your capacity in knowing what questions to ask and what your boundaries are
- Have the opportunity to debrief and integrate your sharing experiences.
For organisations with advocates who lack the resources to best support them, Morgan offers wraparound support as a conduit and can also hold a semi-therapeutic space as a trained crisis counsellor. Morgan also works with journalists, and communications and media representatives directly.
Inclusions
- Ethical storytelling and messaging support can look like training, a workshop or advisory for advocates and/or organisations.
How it works
- Contact us to arrange a conversation about this offering
- Morgan will meet with you to establish a connection and get an understanding of you and your context
- If the project is a good fit, the briefing will be an opportunity to flesh out key touch points e.g. preparing for an upcoming conference, reviewing interview questions, mapping risk, a debrief etc. and what specific support will look like.
Ethical storytelling is for you if:
- You are an advocate, campaigner, communications or marketing specialist, fundraiser, lived experience advocate or consultant or a policy maker
- You’re someone who is passionate about this topic.
The most important thing I took away was how I can use my privilege to give voice to those less fortunate than me. I see it as a responsibility.
“I learned so much. Especially about what I need to do to keep myself safe, intellectual property rights and co-design. But far and away the most important thing I took away from this was the wonderful information I learned about how I can use my privilege to give voice to those less fortunate than me. In fact, I see it as a responsibility I cannot and will not shy away from.”
