The Power of Storytelling: Building Political Power Through Communications

Political and advocacy communications directly impact how Black communities perceive, understand, and navigate political issues and spaces. However, across media industries including communications, marketing, advertising, public relations, and even journalism, Black professionals still roughly make up less than 10 percent in each field.

In this conversation with Elisabeth Bellevue, an alumna of Lincoln University and young professional studying political communications in her graduate program, listeners will:

• Hear about Elisabeth’s lived experience as a young Haitian woman and how that has influenced her politics

• Get the basics about political communications concepts and strategies like agenda-setting

• Gain insight on how young Black leaders and community organizations can benefit from political communications skills in grassroots organizing
