This presentation will introduce the fundamental principles of ethical storytelling and asset-framing and share practical ways to incorporate these principles into all aspects of program evaluation and reporting so that the narratives we share are accurate, aspirational, and respect the dignity of our communities. The presenters will share their own experiences advancing equity through data narratives and qualitative participatory reflection activities. Attendees will see examples of how to prioritize and release power to the storyteller, connect disparities and community-wide problems to systemic causes, ensure continuous informed consent, and lift community voices.
