‘What We’re Seeing Now Is a Reckoning and an Opportunity to Create New Narratives.‪’‬ The Breadwinners

As protest and pandemic overwhelm our news feeds, the power of language, storytelling and narrative-shaping has never been more apparent — or more important. Christina Blacken of The New Quo, a narrative intelligence consultancy, joins The Breadwinners to talk about how she works with leaders to connect with the values, emotions and needs of their listeners to get them where they need them to go — and why it’s so important to match story and narrative with lived action. “The stories that they tell, no matter how true they are or not, become the dominant narrative in the lexicon. That’s why we need to have counter-narratives so that we can inform people and stop that and focus on the real issues.” — Christina Blacken Episode Links Sway Them in Color podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/0pB6p8cte9I3ckSVFfGH4u?si=mXHsVsqMQQOXrLgfU7xC3g How Being 'Different' Helped These 14 Female Entrepreneurs Find Their Niche and Made Them More Successful https://www.businessinsider.com/how-being-different-made-14-female-entrepreneurs-more-successful-2020-3 Understanding and Dismantling Racism: A Booklist for White Readers https://www.charisbooksandmore.com/understanding-and-dismantling-racism-booklist-white-readers 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice https://medium.com/equality-includes-you/what-white-people-can-do-for-racial-justice-f2d18b0e0234 Want more Jennifer?
