Storytelling holds the key to shaping culture and has always been our most powerful tool for resistance.
We Write the Future, a first-of-its-kind fellowship that convened a cohort of storytellers, advocates, researchers, and creatives across sectors, built a practical framework for leveraging storyteliing to drive gender justice in the world– not as a message, but as a creative accelerant.
This panel brings three of those fellows—a film & TV producer, a social impact architect, and a researcher on extremism—into conversation to introduce the framework they built, share what they learned, and open a discussion about what it will take to get these tools into the hands of every storyteller who needs them.
