In a world that’s deeply divided, finding and cultivating a sense of community has never been more important. Expert storytellers, activists, and tribe builders Elaine Welteroth and Cleo Wade discuss how to build safe spaces to engage a socially conscious community—online and IRL—through authentic storytelling, empathy, and personal narrative. This session will unlock how to build a “tribe” online that organizes IRL. The solution for capturing and, more importantly, building a community is seeing your target audience not as “other,” but as yourself.
