The Power of Storytelling as a Tool for social Change
Waves to home co-facilitate a workshop with journalist Bokani King at the World Expression Forum, a gathering of activists, journalists, and young leaders from around the world, united by a shared commitment to freedom of expression and social justice.
Our session unfolded through a powerful journey:
Inner storytelling — grounding ourselves in personal truth, reconnecting with the stories that shape us, and understanding that authenticity begins within.
External storytelling — learning to share those stories in ways that build connection and empathy, reclaiming our voices in a world that too often tries to quiet them.
Impact storytelling — coming together as a collective force to challenge harmful narratives, confront injustice, and catalyze meaningful social change.
Together, we were reminded that when our voices converge, they hold the power to shift perspectives, influence systems, and inspire movements for a more just and compassionate world.
