Episode 94: Rebecca Kling, Stories for Advocacy and Social Change

See this content in the original post

Today my guest is Rebecca Kling.

Rebecca is an educator, performer, community organizer, storyteller, and advocate for social change.

Rebecca is also an advocate for transgender rights, is involved in the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, and is the co-founder of Better World Collaborative, a trans, woman, and Latinx-owned consultancy rooted in social justice and the creative arts.

I met Rebecca in the pilot of the Earth Stories workshop that was hosted by StoryCenter. We learned about Earth Stories in the last episode.

The workshop was my introduction to her advocacy work, and how storytelling is a tool she uses throughout her work with individuals and organizations.

It is this aspect of her work that we will focus on today.
