Nonprofit Leader Spotlight: Danami-Maurice Champion & BairStories

What if I tell you everything you know about nonprofit storytelling is wrong?

In today's episode of the Nonprofit Insider Podcast, we welcome Danami-Maurice Champion to the show.

Danami is the Co-Founder & Story Director at BairStories, overseeing operations and story development. A modern-day renaissance man, Danami's insights into the nonprofit are woven from a life of insight, learning, teaching, and storytelling.

In a jam-packed episode you are not going to want to miss he shares his thoughts on why our view of nonprofit storytelling is wrong and how your organization can use emotive storytelling to get results that extend way beyond stats and data points.

Plus, he dives into the new film from BairStories, Belonging, a short documentary exploring the transformative experiences of BIPOC students in nature. I watched it last month and wow! oh wow! It's easy to see why Belonging is an Official 2024 Selection of the Ely Film Festival.

Danami is someone you need to know in the nonprofit space so remember where you heard it first.
