story telling
ZooLoo for Non Profits
There are a lot of well-intentioned people in the world with groundbreaking ideas to make a real difference. They'll sit down and strategize how to raise the funds, what they're going to do and where they're going to go. However, often times a very fundamental piece of the equation is left out: Story-telling.
This is not your 5-year-olds definition of story-telling, this is the concept of effectively spreading the word about your mission in a passionate and compelling way, and at the same time, reaching those people who want and/or need to hear it.

MoAD: Museum of African Diaspora
MoAD’s MISSION
The mission of The Museum of the African Diaspora, MoAD, is to promote the universal connection of humankind to Africa and to explore and appreciate the impact people of African descent have had on contemporary life the world over. Reminding us that we are all part of one family, MoAD will seek to transform the way we perceive each other and ourselves. The new museum will be a world-class institution that utilizes art, culture and history to tell the story of the African Diaspora.
MoAD IS A GLOBAL MUSEUM
An international museum, based in San Francisco, MoAD will reach out and initiate collaborative ventures with institutions of similar vision from around the world. Utilizing innovative communications systems to link with other organizations, MoAD will help to bring Africa, the African Diaspora and the world community closer together.
In addition to exciting permanent and changing exhibits, the Museum will have ongoing educational lectures, scholarly colloquia, concerts, film series, satellite conversations, and other programs and events to add to the regular museum visitor experience.
Designed to be the embodiment of new applications in media, MoAD will feature an interactive theater and new technology in its exhibitions design. This coupling of art, culture and technology will enable in-person visitors and those experiencing MoAD through the Internet, to exchange histories and stories, share and debate viewpoints and find common expression in the many kinds of experiences that MoAD will provide.
While MoAD will not have a permanent collection like many other museums, it will be a collector of stories, a repository of information to be shared with all who wish to know about the vast reaches of the African Diaspora. This institution will draw from the collections of museums, institutes, organizations, universities and private citizens.
Using objects of art and culture as catalysts to tell the story of the African Diaspora, past and present, whether through exhibits initiated by MoAD or through traveling exhibitions, MoAD will become a virtual crossroads for people around the globe.
