INTRODUCING Mancala COLLECTIVE

Mancala Collective is a strategic communications and narrative strategy firm that partners with movement leaders, research institutions, and philanthropic foundations whose work strengthens Black and Brown communities. Mancala Collective supports organizations in shaping narratives that influence culture, shape public policy, and advance collective power.

This evening celebrates the community of scholars, movement leaders, foundation partners, and creatives that have partnered with us. Join us for an intimate evening of connection and inspiration as we welcome you to our Village.

The press is the voice of the people.

A FIRESIDE CHAT: HOW MOVEMENTS PARTNER WITH THE BLACK PRESS TO ADVANCE NARRATIVE POWER.

Hosted during Black Press Week in Washington, D.C., this celebration features a fireside chat between Mancala Collective founder, Misha Cornelius Green and Washington Informer Managing Editor, Micha Green (you read that right!), exploring the long-standing relationship between movement leaders and the Black press—two forces that have historically worked in tandem to document struggles, elevate voices, and shape public understanding of Black communities.
