Sophie Otiende on Ethical Storytelling and Women's Recovery

I believe that there's so much power in people learning, and stories are the avenue for people learning. So my argument is that we just need to tell more holistic and whole stories, because they actually hold the key to people really understanding complex issues...
Imagine trying to heal from trauma while the world only sees you through a narrow lens. In this episode of 'Your Bright Recovery', host Caroline Beidler, MSW, sits down with Sophie Otiende, a global advocate for women's rights and a survivor of human trafficking. They discuss the immense power of ethical storytelling in recovery and advocacy.
Sophie shares her personal journey and stresses the importance of telling stories that are holistic and representative, particularly when dealing with complex issues like gender-based violence and human trafficking. This conversation sheds light on how ethical storytelling can help women regain their voices and create a future where empathy and trust are integral to institutional processes. Sophie also talks about her work in developing systems for grassroots organizations and her passion for ethical survivor engagement.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of recovery, advocacy, and ethical storytelling.
