With a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies from Hampshire College and a Master of Public Policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, Alison Byrne Fields is bringing the weapon of storytelling to the fight for social justice. She is the founder of Aggregate, a creative strategy group that helps individuals and non-profits use the media to bring about social change. Alison’s entrepreneurial spirit is rooted in the belief that problems in this world are not merely things to be complained about, but rather opportunities to create something better. She discusses the importance of written communication skills, the value of travel, and the role of the media in the current political climate. This episode will convince you to say yes and use the skills you have to fight for the causes you believe in.
