RISE reposted this
I was in KC recently to attend The Communications Network annual event alongside my colleague, Britt Musolino . We had a poster featuring our work focused on sports culture as a tool for narrative change. You'll see many partners highlighted including RISE and Cullen Jones OLY . Thanks PerryUndem for all of the research/data! https://rwjf.ws/4dnd5xs
I had the great opportunity to talk with communicators about my work at RWJF last week at #ComNet24! Alisha Greenberg and I displayed a beautifully designed poster (shout out to Shieree Chaudhury) about how we're exploring sports culture as a platform for #narrativechange. Our sports fan research and partnership with athletes were the main topics of conversation, and we made some fantastic connections. Besides the great sessions, my favorite part of my trip to Kansas City was getting to tour the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and seeing the power of sport to tell the story of segregation, structural racism, and progess.
