The Story Doula. Rewire The Way You See Yourself. Next Level Small Business Decolonized Branding "EXPOSING BEAUTY IN ALL OF ITS MESSY AND INARTICULATE FORMS"



"What does it look like to decolonize branding? 
What does it look like to reimagine what is possible beyond the systems we know and have been conditioned to trust?
How may we reclaim the use of our voices in the marketplace? 

The use of design? 
Creative process? 
Artfulness? 
Curiosity?

Market Research might be the blandest, most bleached term in marketing, but what would it look like to centre the community we craft our medicine for? 

To ask questions? 
What of their fears? 
Their needs? 
Their experiences?

It is inherently colonial to force-feed culture and assume we know what’s best (aesthetically and functionally) for those we say we serve. 
It is inherently colonial to accept what a homogenous group of aesthetes say is “good”.

As we’re innovating, designing, crafting, and making...

How do we merge the creatives instinct with a community’s possibilities? 
How do come out caring? 
How do we show up sustainably?
What does it look like to drop the term “branding”? 

Daje James ~ The Story Doula  

 

"I’m an artist, entrepreneur, and brand strategist who is wholly obsessed with helping creatives get their stories out in the most self-kind ways possible. I have spent the last eight years diving headfirst into the world of social media, digital marketing, and branding; and the last six years serving creative communities in the roles of Creative Director, Marketing Director, and Brand Strategist. My work as a storyteller has lead me into the classrooms of vibrant young people as well as into the learning spaces of men’s penitentiaries. I’ve shared in coffee shops, museums, and stages. I’ve worked with healers, activists, circus artists, theatre professionals, visual artists, and poets to help them speak wildly specific truths to their communities and inspire wonder in the online space."
