As the Social Justice Origin Stories YouTube channel continues to grow in subscribers and accumulate videos and clips in its archives over time, I decided to create a centralized playlist for those seeking a foundational understanding of what the project represents. Consider it an orientation to Social Justice Origin Stories.

The Why Behind The Work playlist is designed to ground you in the values and aspirations that shape Social Justice Origin Stories. It’s great for new viewers or longtime supporters seeking to reconnect with the project’s purpose and direction. This playlist also features project updates and series announcements, and will be updated regularly as the project evolves.

I'm a macro social worker, social justice educator, strategist, and storyteller who leverages media and education to advance equity and social justice within people, organizations, and communities. I started Social Justice Origin Stories because I believe in the power of storytelling and making our experiences accessible to others, because I believe in the liberatory effects of social justice education, to support justice-seekers in finding community and feeling less alone given the relentlessness of oppressive systems, and to be a resource of support and reflection for those who are thinking through how they could best contribute to the work. We need all who can, to do what they can.
