Hello once again! Welcome back to a brand new episode of She`s An Artist! This week our topic is Creating Social Change With Art and I`m talking to 2 amazing women on this subject. First up Jessica Blank, a multi hyphenate filmmaker, playwright, director, author, actor, and story trainer working at the intersections of storytelling, entertainment and social change. As a filmmaker, playwright, director and actor Jessica has worked Off-Broadway, on network television, and in Hollywood; her groundbreaking, multi-award-winning documentary theater work has helped shape the genre. As an activist and change maker, she works with progressive candidates and nonprofit leaders to help them use the power of empathy and narrative to radically expand their reach. Did I mention shes also a Mom and her writing partner is her husband! For all things Jessica head over to Jessicacblank.com.
