On Wednesday, June 10th at 3 pm ET / 12 pm PT, Frank Velásquez Jr. joins us to answer all of your questions about helping your nonprofit’s community share first-person stories ethically, confidently, and without harm. 

Through his work building a community advisory council for food policy in Arizona, Frank has been helping individuals with lived experience of food insecurity strengthen their advocacy skills and tell their stories on their own terms, without retraumatization or exploitation. His work sits at the intersection of ethical consent, ethical interviewing, and direct client storytelling, bringing a deeply human approach to nonprofit storytelling.

And he’s ready to share this knowledge with you!

Whether your organization regularly features client stories or is just beginning to explore first-person storytelling, this conversation will offer practical guidance for making storytelling more ethical for everyone involved.

Join us for our next “Ask Me Anything” style event, where Carly Euler will ask YOUR biggest questions to Frank in a jam-packed 60-minute session. Practical questions, like:

• “How do you know if someone is truly ready to tell their story?”
• “How can nonprofits support storytellers without steering the narrative?”
• “What role should staff play in ethical client storytelling?”
• “What are the signs an organization may be causing harm, even with good intentions?”

If your nonprofit works directly with community members, clients, patients, students, or anyone sharing lived experiences, this Ask Me Anything is a must-attend. Save your spot today!
