activist the person who worked alongside julia butterfly hill and nobel peace laureate betty williams and the one making sure our grantees stories reach the people who need to hear them ️ what drew you to work with tpp it happened by chance i started as a website assistant but then i began reading the stories of our grantees and i couldn t look away the courage these people carry the scale of what they re attempting with so little those stories need to be told and when tpp offered me the role of director of storytelling i couldn t say no ️ how has working with julia and betty shaped how you see change they gave me the certainty that ordinary people are the ones who change the world not institutions people julia was not a professional activist when she climbed that tree betty williams was a housewife when she started collecting signatures for peace in northern ireland and she won the nobel peace prize i carry those stories as proof that what one person decides to do matters enormously i don t tell stories to document change i tell stories because i believe they activate something in people a recognition that they too have that power when someone reads about a grantee in kenya or rwanda or brazil and thinks i could do something like that or i want to support that person the story has done its work it has moved power ️ what does storytelling mean in grassroots change it means making visible what is already happening a story that lands well closes the distance between someone at their computer and a community on the other side of the world and when that distance closes something becomes possible solidarity action generosity fast five go to vegan comfort food ️ roasted potatoes tool to stay organized ️ my old agenda a tiny joy in a busy week ️ volunteering
