SUMMARY:Storytelling: The Why Behind Your Work\, a 20Fathoms Breakfast Lab
DESCRIPTION:This Week at Breakfast Lab\nEvery founder has a reason they do what they do. The ones who can articulate it clearly and make other people feel it have a real advantage. \nIn this session\, we’ll dig into the personal stories behind your work: the values that drive you\, the impact you’re chasing\, and how to communicate all of it in a way that actually lands. You’ll develop a story that’s authentically yours\, then get the chance to share it and receive real feedback in a supportive setting. \nWe’ll cover why personal stories matter for entrepreneurs\, what makes a story stick\, and how to adapt your story for pitching\, marketing\, and making genuine connections. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of your why — and the words to express it. \nAbout the Presenter\nNancy Ma is an actor\, filmmaker\, writer\, and teaching artist from Chinatown\, New York. A 2025–2028 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow\, her work has been supported by the National Arts Club\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the NYFA Women’s Fund\, and the Museum of Chinese in America\, among others. \nNancy is a storytelling facilitator for The Moth and a writing mentor for Young Storytellers\, and has led workshops with organizations including Girls Who Code and Brooklyn Arts Council. Through her work and teaching\, she supports people in deepening their imagination and sense of agency. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breakfast Lab\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreakfast Lab is a weekly event at 20Fathoms where you’ll get expert guidance to help meet your most pressing startup needs. Connecting you to the right tools and the right people at the right time. \nThese events are held in person and offered virtually. There is no cost to attend.
