Description
Enduring impact initiatives aren't built for communities — they're built with them. The Audible Indigenous Writers' Circle sets new standards for rightsholder-led initiatives, using shared power to make every decision. Writers’ Circle program manager, Tessa Danelesko (Senior Account Director of Justice and Impact Programming at Yulu PR) and Award-winning Dene activist, storyteller and Writers’ Circle mentor, Katłı̨̀ą Lafferty, reveal how Audible, Yulu and the Writers’ Circle team identified and filled a critical niche and built a community-centred, accountable, and lasting initiative that benefits First Nations, Inuit and Métis storytellers, according to community-defined ideas of success.
