Fifteen brilliant and hard working communications leaders.

Hi John,

I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to introduce you to The Opportunity Agenda's 2023 Communications Institute Fellows. 

In 2023, The Opportunity Agenda launched the Narrative Innovators Lab (NIL) - a combined home for our signature programs: The Communications Institute and the Culture & Narrative Fellowship. The NIL brings together communicators, thought leaders, and creatives to dream and devise narrative and cultural interventions that move us towards opportunity for all.

The work of our 15 exceptional advocates and communications leaders covers everything from LGBTQ+ advocacy and inclusive democracy to immigrant rights and racial justice. Our fellows' areas of expertise are far too vast for me to cover in this email so be sure to check out their full bios and follow their work below.  

I was lucky to spend a week in community with these amazing activists (and with our Culture & Narrative Fellows) at our NIL launch event. At the event, fellows got the opportunity to learn from each other, collaborate on building new narrative visions, and connect with artists, communications experts, and creatives working to reshape and shift narratives.

The Communications Institute will run until September and conclude with an in-person gathering in New York. I am delighted to support our fellows in their learning and cannot wait for you to see what they have in store.

In solidarity, 

P.S. We provide trainings at no cost to artists and activists. Your support helps make this possible.

P.P.S. Stay tuned for the introduction of our Culture & Narrative Fellows, coming next week!
