A Louder Narrative: A Vision of Optimism in a Divided Citizenry
Today, America sits as a polarized country. We are divided on political issues, segregated by race, religion and ethnicities. In a heated political election season, we see even more of these divisive sentiments that can manipulate our emotions, loyalties and our identities. Leading us to ask the question: Who are we, really? What are our values? And most importantly, how can as a divided country, move together towards optimism resulting in an output of positive change?
Join the thought leaders in digital communication, media storytelling and strategic policy and personal advocates as they discuss how to create a Louder Narrative of Possibility and Optimism that breaks our county’s echo chambers and propels ordinary citizens to take action in defining who we are.
