\u201cAs the first Black woman to lead this organization, I\u2019m honored to introduce our focus on narrative change,\u201d said Jhmira Alexander, President and Executive Director of Public Narrative. \u201cI think it is incumbent upon Public Narrative to emphasize the voices from our city\u2019s neighborhoods, and cultivate its natural focus to bring people and policy into alignment.\u201d<\/p>\n
