ABOUT  NARRATIVES  UNBOUND

Transforming the world one conversation at a time.

Narratives Unbound was founded in 2019 by Community Connector and Educator Nafasi Ferrell to further education as a liberatory process. With a sharp focus on economic and racial equity, we are a mission-driven company working to understand the implications of structural racism and advance actions to improve the economic and social outcomes for individuals, families and ultimately our communities.  

​

We courageously envision a world where individuals, families, and communities share in brave spaces and conversations to accept the past, heal the present and co-create a future full of intergenerational wisdom. It is more important than ever that we center our lived experiences, learn from our history and co-create the world we wish to live in. 

​

We believe that without understanding our racialized past, our economic systems, and what we need to do to heal the trauma within ourselves, we will continue to perpetuate the very inequities that we fight so hard to change. 

​

As you engage with our work it is our hope that you will find value in what is shared and have hope for tomorrow. Together we will unbind minds, explore the stories of our lives and develop new ways to see the world with a lens of clarity that will drive equity forward. 

​

We look forward to continuing this journey of liberation with you.

Our Mission & Vision:

Our Values:

In order to be trustworthy stewards, we center and affirm the following values:

• Integrity in action is alignment of actions and values.
