Welcome! I focus on Outreach & Storytelling.
outreach
Your audience/donors/supporters are out there. I find the gap between your current efforts and potential, and implement or train your team to use online outreach effectively.

ripple projects
Many of our efforts in the nonprofit, civics or social good world are stifled by our potential audience not having the right context, or gateway drug into our mission. I cultivate these Ripple Projects to reach new people with the message that they are welcome into our world.

I think you’re following me on Twitter and I, you! I know see why – Chernobyl. I hosted some kids this summer via chernobyl-children.org.uk, it was amazing. See the blog http://www.lovechernobylkids.wordpress.com for some cute pictures and stories of what we did. What are you doing for the 25th anniversary? I am interested in your play.

Hi Cindy –
I loved your piece on working with Neighborhood Councils. I agree that the arts community could benefit greatly by connecting with NCs and vice versa. Please call me so we can talk more about how we can help make those connections happen! I recently connected with Make Music LA folks who are reaching out to NCs to create music in neighborhoods!
