WHO WE ARE
Speechwriters shape the stories and ideas that drive our country’s leaders. But sadly, the evidence is clear: very few of these writers are people of color.
That’s bad for our society and bad for the world.
The actions we take, the expectations we set, and the institutions we create are only as good as the ideas behind them, and only as diverse as the people who define them.
Speechwriters of Color was founded in 2020 to change the face of professional speechwriting by supporting, empowering, and building community among
communicators of color.
We’ve hosted discussions with presidential speechwriters, built a network of hundreds of communicators of color, and helped our members secure writing jobs with some of the biggest names in politics, business, and philanthropy.
AND HELP US REWRITE THE WORLD OF SPEECHWRITING.
