Join SoCal Grantmakers to chat with Stephen Satterfield — food writer and the founder of Whetstone Magazine and host of the hit Netflix show, “High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America.”

Stories are the most powerful and pervasive force in our society. Stories define narratives and shape our views on a variety of issues and inform how we cultivate empathy. Stories shift and shape culture — and therefore have the capacity to change culture. In our work pursuing racial justice, we have the opportunity to disrupt dominant narratives and invest in storytellers whose voices are historically silenced.

Join us to seek the narrative power of stories and explore the role of philanthropy, government, and community-based partners in supporting BIPOC storytellers and investing in infrastructure for narrative change.

Target Audience

This program is open to members of Catalyst, Northern California Grantmakers, and Southern California Grantmakers and all funders and nonprofits.

If you require any accommodations to fully participate in this program, please contact [email protected].
