Jade Phillips | Community Organizer | Host of "Dig Deeper: Human Services Field Guide" Podcast
History has shown that stories are inextricably linked to what it means to be human. Before there was formal communication, there were stories. Effective stories are powerful because they drive action. Our guest Jade Phillips joins us to explore how building emotional connections, stories bring to life the work of the issues in ways that other forms of communication cannot.
In PART 1, Jade shares how storytelling became a central focus in her academic studies and her work across communities. We unpack the role storytelling has in the process of understanding ourselves as human service professionals and where in our work we have room to integrate the process. Jade shares her experience with storytelling in community organizing and what potential there is for future storytellers in the field.
Let’s talk about it.
