Noowah: Making Stories Matter

By in Journalism, noowah, startups

I’ve always believed storytelling could make a difference in the world. It’s the reason I became a journalist. Whether it’s a compelling video or a narrative, stories are capable of inspiring change.

That is where the idea of Noowah came from. It’s a storytelling blog that empowers people to turn inspiration into action. An effort to help people realize what I already believe–

Stories matter.

It’s not just about content or posts. Great stories are about sharing experiences, spreading knowledge, and channeling empathy. That’s what Noowah is about. And fortunately, UNITY: Journalists of Color supports our mission too.

Today they announced I was selected as one of 14 fellows to participate in their New U fellowship for aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s an exciting opportunity to learn more about startups, and hopefully a chance to turn an idea into something more.
