Storytelling as Resistance: Finding and Using Your Voice

Описание: What if storytelling isn’t just communication—but resistance?

In this powerful conversation, Carol Cox talks with Janice Gassam Asare—organizational psychologist, equity consultant, and author of Rise and Resist—about how using your voice through storytelling challenges erasure, preserves truth, and creates real impact.

Because when stories disappear, voices disappear. And when voices are heard, change begins.

Whether you’re a speaker, leader, entrepreneur, or someone who knows you have something meaningful to say, this episode will remind you why your voice matters—and how even small acts of storytelling can create powerful ripple effects in your workplace, community, and beyond.

In this episode:

Why storytelling is a powerful form of resistance
How your personal story creates deeper connection than expertise alone
What “micro-actions” look like when you want to create real change
How to develop your voice—even if you were taught not to rock the boat
What to do if you face criticism or backlash for speaking up
Why silencing yourself is the one thing you must not do
