WE ARE SPEECHWRITERS OF COLOR.
Search the internet for famous speechwriters, and almost every face you see will be white. One of the most common refrains we hear from hiring managers is that they would love to hire more writers of color, if only they existed.
Well here we are.
Speechwriters of Color is a community of expert and aspiring communicators from every background across the globe. Not all of us have the word speechwriter in our job title, but we all believe in the power of writing to make a difference.
We’ve penned some of the most memorable messages and articulated the most impactful ideas in recent history. Our words have been delivered from the biggest stages, and appeared in publications around the world. We write for leaders at every level of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, from local organizers to heads of state. You might never have heard our names—but you’ve certainly heard our words.
