Why do those "big nonprofits" use those emotional, tear-jerking stories? Well, it's complicated and has a long history. But today, we are sharing a much better (and more ethical) way to inspire donors.  We're debunking harmful fundraising and storytelling myths to give you the tools to tell dignifies stories that get results.      My guest is the brilliant Diana Farias Heinrich, the CEO of Habrá Marketing. Diana is passionate about helping nonprofits share their work in ways that empower both clients and donors. With certifications in DEI and as an Advocate for Survivors of Domestic Violence, she brings essential expertise to our sector. We talk about the long-term harm of those guilt-driven appeals, how to build trust with clients, and the transformative power of letting people share their stories on their own terms. Key Episode Highlights: Stop using "poverty porn" narratives. Data shows people will give, but they won't stick around. Focus on the transformative power of your services – showcase the positive impact you're making!Clients deserve agency over their own stories. Informed consent conversations lay out exactly how a story will be used and the client's right to change their mind, giving a sense of control and safety within the process.Ask open-ended questions, not leading ones. Avoid retraumatization when interviewing. Instead of asking how terrible their situation was was, focus on what they did with your services and how things changed.Humanizing builds bridges. Portraying clients as more than just service users. Discuss their dreams, families, even fun facts – it helps donors see themselves in those your work serves.Ethical storytelling = better organizational culture. These practices foster communication between programs and fundraising, and ultimately benefit everyone, including your mission!Don't forget to become a supporter of our show!Watch this episode on Youtube:  https://youtu.be/RKLqPgUfzgE Links and Resources:  Connect with Diana on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianafariasheinrich/Cultivating ethical narratives workshop: https://witty-musician-3516.ck.page/products/cultivating-ethical-narrativesYour Guide to Informed Consent Conversations: https://informedconsentconversation.habramarketing.com/Learn more about Habra Marketing: https://habramarketing.com/Connect with Maria on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mariario/10 Dignified questions guide:  https://www.gofurthertogether.ca/sign-upSupport the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/208666/supporters/newSupport the show

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English terms TLC and ITIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the acronym TLC. In English, if you say something needs some TLC, it means it needs some tender loving care. Tender loving care. We never actually say tender loving care, though. We use this to talk about, maybe, if you buy something old that just needs some rust removed, you might say, "Oh, it just needs some TLC." Maybe you buy something at a thrift store or at a garage sale. You buy something used, and you just need to fix a few little things on it. You would say, "Oh, it just needs some TLC." It just needs some tender loving care, and then it will be just like new again, and ready to make me happy.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other short acronym I wanted to teach you today is IT. In English, when we say IT, we mean information technology. It means computers, and networks, and all of that digital stuff. If you say, "Oh, my cousin works in IT." You know, I really should have put, like a period after the I and the T, that would've been a good thing to do, 'cause we normally do that, and it means information technology. "My cousin works in IT," that means that your cousin works with computers. Maybe they set up computers, or they write programs for computers, or they connect computers together with networking. They work in IT, information technology.So to review, TLC means some tender loving care. When you give something some tender loving care it's ready to use again. I'm trying to think. I bought an old piece of farm equipment once, and it just needed some TLC. It needed a new tire, I needed to fix where it connects to the tractor a little bit, and I sanded it, I sanded the metal and put some new paint on, I gave it a little bit of TLC, and it was as good as new. And IT, remember, there should actually be a period after the I and T, simply means information technology, the world of computers, and all the stuff that goes with it.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This is from Aleksey. "Film an English lesson first thing in the morning and..." I think that's a Mark Twain quote about a frog. "Do you know that quote from Mark Twain?" Yes, I do. "Seriously though, sir, it looks like you've got too much on your plate again. Take care of yourself, please. Enjoy your morning walk and run." And then, "PS in the Dark Kahn version you are a good kickboxer. Punch! kick, kick, kick, kick, kick. Punch! Bump elbow! Punch! That's the soundtrack stuck in my head. And that 'Slap ah' at the end. And your face!" Yeah, I'll put a link to that music video below for this, underneath this video as well. My response, "There is a certain amount of energy that comes with the end of the school year. I'm harnessing it well. I'll be able to relax quite a bit over the next couple of months, so no worries, but I will for sure take care of myself. PS, that song is still making me laugh."So a couple of things there. One, I appreciate the concern. Many of you who watch most of my lessons know more about my life as I go through each week, and you know and can sense when I'm busy, and when I'm less busy. And yes, I am pretty busy right now. It's the last two weeks of the school year, this is exam week. So my students wrote an exam today, and we're having a bunch of retirement parties at night as well, so there is a busyness, but I am taking really good care of myself right now. I am exercising almost daily. I am walking. I'm eating very, very healthy. And although I am busy, none of it is like, stressful busyness. I hope you know the difference. Like, I'm not so busy that I'm upSupport the show

Born and raised in the Washington DC area, he moved to Philadelphia in 1997.The self-taught artist started working in paper cutout in 2003 and has been consistently exploring ways to transcend the traditional medium, translating his designs into large scale murals, graphic novels, fine art prints and metal wall hangings. Inspired by his surroundings, current events and architecture, his black and white installations have become iconic in the Philadelphia region.His work explores themes of race, sexuality, politics, history and art, all through the subtractive art of paper cutout. His designs are all created from a single piece of black paper where all the white sections are excised by hand with an exacto blade and all the black sections must connect to the whole. Often quite small, the original paper cutouts are scaled up to fit their intended space.He was a finalist for Pew Fellowship and has worked on major murals with the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. His graphic novel, “Stuffed Animals” was awarded a Xeric Grant for graphic fiction.

Brief summary of episode:Jack O'Connell has been an avid music lover since he was in diapers and was burning mixes at age 7, ripping a personal Beach Boys hits anthology. He has been listening constantly since. From hearing Fastball's All the Pain Money Can Buy on cassette in the car to elementary school, to The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack on the Walkman, he discovered music early and was hooked. Along the way he endured the zeitgeist of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, dancing along to their performances at Madison Square Garden on VHS. Eventually his babysitter introduced him to the local alternative rock station–99.1 WHFS (R.I.P.)–where he could finally hear pop-punk icons like Blink-182 and Good Charlotte, Jack's first exposure to the combination of raw rock and catchy pop.  Blink also influenced him toward the drums. During a drive past the Baltimore School for Drumming while listening to Enema of the State at age 10, Travis Barker unwittingly set events in motion that led Jack toward devotion to the kit. During his eight years of private drum lessons with virtuoso and now long-time friend John Coale, Jack practiced his craft with Kidz Rock bands at The Music Workshop, instructed by singer/guitarist Fred Moss in the ways of performing and band dynamics. Eventually he played drums with his middle school's jazz ensemble, taking him out of his head-bashing comfort zone and into more complex and elegant styles.  Since playing in liturgical and theatre bands in high school, he has played countless shows at venues in and around Baltimore, as well as major cities around the east coast on tour with surf rockers Trunkweed, honing an understanding for the politics of booking and the challenges of creating good live sound.  Jack attended a summer program on music industry at Drexel University, which cemented his decision to attend Towson University.  While working on his audio degree, doing audio/visual work for Towson event services, and teaching drum lessons from home, he began buying recording gear, building a studio, and producing on his own. Jack played virtually every venue in Baltimore and published a full-length record, Anything But Ordinary, which Jack co-wrote and produced, with his former band, pop-rockers The Chance.​Jack has more recently been making music with his brother, Danny, as Backyard Games, and is currently working on their first full-length album, all recorded and produced at O'Connell Sound. He also periodically plays around Fells Point on the weekends playing cover gigs.The Truth In This ArtThe Truth In This Art is a podcast interview series supporting vibrancy and development of Baltimore & beyond's arts and culture. Mentioned in this episode:O'Connell Sound To find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory. Stay in TouchNewsletter sign-upSupport my podcastShareable link to episodeSPONSORSforaged. a hyper-seasonal eatery: Farm-fresh seasonal plates, beer & wine served in a warm, casual space lined with greenery. each item on the menu is comprised of local and seasonal ingredients. the concept is true to chef Chris Amendola's ethos in the kitchen, one that is deeply rooted in the woods. foragedeatery.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Brief summary of episode:Niles Tatum is a self-taught multimedia artist based in Baltimore, Maryland.  He first began creating at the age of 8, deeply inspired by the vibrancy of the cartoons in his youth. His beginnings would later foreshadow his propensity for hyper-saturation and contrast. With his emphasis on color and distortion, which often borders psychedelia, his work aims to communicate the complexities of his community, their love, their pain, and the world they inhabit.His medium of choice is marker, though he frequents digital creation, collage, and oil paint. His work conveys its whimsy through the lens of cultural nuances, centering the feelings, experiences, and relationships of the marginalized.
