The Power of Strategic Storytelling Begins With Me

Every compelling story drives an audience to seek more. As the founder of Narrative North, my goal is to champion the power of storytelling within the nonprofit framework. Storytelling is a tool for visibility and equity. Like any story rooted in purpose, mine begins with identity.

A Legacy of Revolution and Voice

My identity is linked to my Haitian ancestry. As a first-generation American woman, the strength that fuels my work is drawn from a lineage of revolution. Haiti—the first Black republic to gain its independence —exists in the marrow of my being. Its history is one of resilience, liberation, and radical defiance. These attributes are not distant from me; they are the foundation I stand on. I come from people who made the impossible possible. That fire lives in my voice, in my choices, and in the stories I commit to telling.

Finding My Voice in the Work

Over the course of my career in nonprofit communications, I’ve had the honor of amplifying stories that matter. I’ve worked across advocacy based organizations, foundations, and public institutions, and I’ve seen the difference between content and connection. I’ve learned that storytelling is the heartbeat of any nonprofit organization.

Too often, nonprofit storytelling is reactive or disconnected and treated as a supplement rather than a strategy. That’s where Narrative North comes in.

Why Narrative North

I founded Narrative North because I believe storytelling should be intentional and liberating. We partner with organizations to design story frameworks that affirm identity, build trust, and mobilize communities. Through our partnership, we help you find your story, root it in purpose, and craft it with clarity and impact.

Whether we’re building a communications plan from the ground up, shaping an annual campaign, or coaching a leader through narrative strategy, our approach centers dignity, alignment, and authenticity.

Returning to Purpose

My story is still being written. However, when I help an organization rediscover its voice, or support a team in sharing a story that reflects their values—I am honoring my roots. I am honoring Haiti. I am honoring my mother’s courage. I am honoring the stories that were never recorded, but that shaped my path.

Narrative North is more than a consultancy—it’s a calling. I’m proud to build it one story at a time.
