This course engages the complicated task of engaging and transforming a criminal legal system that’s doing what it was designed to do: oppress marginalized communities. It deals not only how to create justice in our legal system but how to develop organizational values and practices that make lasting change possible.
This course will help content creators and media organizations interested in changing culture develop best practices around language use, equitable practices for both reporters and editors, and developing sources among traditionally inaccessible populations (e.g., incarcerated people). This course also covers common mistakes content creators make when covering marginalized populations.
By the time I was 18 years old, I was serving a life sentence for murder. I decided to write my way out of prison, and 21 years later, I achieved a miracle. My success came from three principles: Radical Orientation, Collectivity, and Building in the Future. This workshop introduces companies and organizations to these principles, and add-on services include help operationalizing Three Principles of Creating Miracles. Whether you want to change your office culture, transform your industry, or revitalize your company vision, these principles will revolutionize the ways you succeed.
