The Power of Social Impact Storytelling: A Masterclass

Tue, April 1, 2025
Lunch Program
Beth Murphy and Izzy Murphy
Izzy and Beth Murphy
Join us to explore the power of social impact storytelling in conflict and post-conflict societies with case studies of Beth Murphy’s media campaigns that move audiences from outrage and inspiration to action. One powerful example is young changemaker IzzyMurphy, whose work in rural Afghanistan through her organization GLAM - the Global Local Athletic Movement - fosters hope and resilience for girls navigating life under Taliban rule.

Award-winning journalist, filmmaker, author, and changemaker Beth Murphy has built her career on the belief that empathy fuels action—and that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools to inspire both. She is founder of Principle Pictures. Her honors include: Emmy Awards, World Press Photo Award, Overseas Press Club Award, Scripps Howard Award, National Headliner Award, Webby Award, RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award, AWRT’s Gracie Allen Award, One Shared World International Outreach Award, and Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards.
