My guest this episode is Sara Bishop, a strategic communications consultant and runs her own organization, Orchid Communications.  She is also a faculty member at the University of Arkansas.  She shares her story of how she launched a communications business focused on working with nonprofits.  She shares her passion for helping organizations to bring awareness and social impact centered around authentic and aspirational stories that often involve difficult conversations about race and wealth.  With her strong background in communications, she describes the powerful role stories play in bringing awareness and facilitating social change and flipping the narrative around poverty and the culture that perpetuates false stories.
