“We want to hear from people who know things.  And they are a lot of different ways of knowing.”  - Katie Orenstein

In this episode, we speak with Katie Orenstein, founder, and CEO of the hugely influential organization, The OpEd Project.  The goals of the OpEd Project are to change minds and change the world, in part by helping underrepresented voices find their platforms.  In this interview, we discuss how stories are told, who tells them, and what happens when previously unheard voices take center stage.  We talk about how telling your story strengthens not just your voice but also your personal agency.  And we examine what it means to step forward if you have been working two, three, or four additional “shifts” in addition to your day job.
