How Storytelling Can Give a Community Back it's Voice | Eric Thomas | TEDxDetroit

Communities can find themselves silenced and ultimately overlooked due to barriers of language and culture. Rooting our stories and engagement efforts in shared values can give outsiders / observers perspective on the things that truly matter to those, often times, marginalized peoples near and far. Born and raised in Detroit, Eric is an entrepreneur, storyteller and advocate for inclusion and opportunity. Eric has worked with hundreds of brands to help them develop their narrative and find their voice. He is driven by authenticity, and believes that true value is found in honest communication. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
