Building a Better Story: Ethical Storytelling in Nonprofit Work
As part of a board trainings committee exercise for Rebuilding Together South Sound, I put together a brief presentation on how to tell stories centered around folks we serve in an ethical way that builds community - what it is, why it matters, and how we can approach it as a team.
Weâve all seen storytelling used to raise funds or awarenessâbut if weâre not careful, we can build shaky structures. Ethical storytelling ensures we build with our communities, not on top of them. Itâs not just âdoing the right thing,â itâs about creating something sustainable, inclusive, and just.
Hereâs our ethical blueprint:
Dignity: Respect for every storytellerâs full humanity.
Consent: informed, ongoing.
Co-Creation: Invite people to tell their story, not just be featured in yours.
Nuance: Celebrate the small stuff, not just âsuccess.â
Support: Emotional safety throughout the process.
These are the most common issues:
Oversimplifying a story into a transformation arc.
Only telling stories when it benefits development.
Implicit pressure on people to share painful experiences.
Leaving out the voices of board, volunteers, or staff.
Each of these weakens the storyâand the house weâre trying to build.
Ethical storytelling serves a double bottom line:
It lifts up the voices of storytellers. It also supports your mission and strategy. The goal is alignment, not tradeoff. When we do this right, stories are both more powerful and more honest.
We tend to lean heavily on client storiesâbut we have so many rich, authentic voices in our ecosystem. What about the board member who overcame doubts to get involved? Or the volunteer who found purpose in giving back? These stories build a fuller, more connected narrative. Weâre all responsible for the story we buildâboard members included. Ethical storytelling is a tool, a responsibility, and an opportunity to make our work more just, more human, and more impactful. Letâs build something worth standing in.
nabbed this off of twitter, for anyone else playing ptn and is interested:
RivaTuner Statistics Server (aka âRTSSâ)
Running in Windows 11, limiting the âFlycastâ Dreamcast emulator to 59.94 fps (NTSC framerate), a suggestion I found here: https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Help:Flycast_GGPO#Emulator_Video_settings
It Infuriates and Saddens me that the one thing I would NEVER use mouse side buttons for, navigated webbed sites, remains in their functionality while their TRUE and NOBLE usage, mapping FPS inputs to, is now practically impossible u_u u_u u_u
Final Project
Icecream land
My goal with this project was to familiarize myself with three.js platform and create a fun icecream land.
https://22fe815795c0.ngrok.io Just like everyone else I was feeling zoom fatigue. I still wanted to hangout with people online but not on zoom. So, I was inspired and wanted to create a platform like Topia. Fun and humane video chat where you can easily move in and out of conversation in the space.
Users can roam around the space
*unlimited* Icecream scoops are stackable when clicked
Playtest & Feedback
When I tested with my friends, they started building blocks and walls with ice cream. They suggested maybe adding features like lego blocks. Also I had few suggested that I should make a game of some sorts.
