If we control our narratives, we shape our destiny”

Founded in 2014, The Counter Narrative Project (CNP) uses storytelling to advance social justice for Black queer men by challenging harmful narratives that shape discriminatory policies. CNP operates through three central interventions and strategies: producing original content, training advocates, and establishing partnerships with theaters, researchers, and media outlets to amplify the voices of Black queer individuals. By deliberately adopting an intergenerational framework that captures diverse perspectives across income levels and lived experiences, CNP demonstrates that narrative change constitutes structural change, reclaiming storytelling power for communities that have been historically silenced or misrepresented in dominant discourse
