The Moth: Storytelling Leads to Change

HUEMAN GROUP MEDIA
About this episode

If we are to change systems, we must first start with changing our beliefs. And this requires us to learn to listen to one another. That is exactly what The Moth was created for. Through their live storytelling events, workshops and The Moth Radio Hour podcast, they are elevating stories that create empathy all around the world. 


In this episode, we’ll be tackling one of the most powerful tools for systems change: storytelling.


Featuring Sarah Austin Jenness, Executive Producer of The Moth, and Brandon Grant-Walker, Director of Marketing at The Moth.
