On the first episode of the Create for Change series, I discuss the power of storytelling and social impact with Jamira Burley, an internationally recognized speaker, activist, and Strategy Director at Amplify Pledge.
Jamira shares her personal journey from youth activism to becoming a leading voice in social justice, youth engagement, and corporate social responsibility.
We discuss the critical role that young people and brands play in creating meaningful change and how Amplify Pledge aims to bridge the gap between communities and corporations.
HIGHLIGHTS
- EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY: Individuals, corporations, and organizations must work together to create the world we deserve. That’s exactly what Amplify Pledge is building.
- STORYTELLING IS KEY: Authentic storytelling can humanize each other and find connections in a divided world. I fundamentally believe it’s at the intersection of data, policy, organizing, and storytelling where we see transformative change.
- APPLY PRESSURE TO BRANDS: Corporations have a responsibility to engage with social issues, educate themselves on community needs, and create pathways for change. As consumers and industry professionals alike, it’s instrumental to ensure brands are showing up for us.
