This public narrative guide was developed by the team at Crea Potencial for a gender-focused program that equips Latin American women with the tools to appreciate how storytelling builds sisterhood.

Este material fue desarrollado por el equipo de la organización Crea Potencial, que tengo el honor de liderar, un grupo de mujeres profesionistas que encontramos en el framework de Marshall el poder de contar nuestras historias.

Así llamamos al curso de narrativa pública: El Poder de Nuestra Historia, una versión con perspectiva de género que facilita herramientas para que las mujeres latinoamericanas aprendan la valiosa importancia de contar historias para crear comunidades de mujeres sororas que, en un espacio seguro y de confianza, conectan a nivel emocional al compartir sus experiencias, valores y fuentes de esperanza; descubriendo el poder de una comunidad organizada para lograr los cambios que deseamos.

El material conforma una guía de trabajo que lleva paso a paso a las participantes por todos los componentes de la estructura narrativa: Desafío, Decisión y Resultado; así como los de cada una de las historias que componen la Narrativa Vinculada: Historia del Yo, De Nosotras y Del ahora.

This material was developed by the team at Crea Potencial, which I have the honor of leading: a group of professional women who, drawing on Marshall’s framework, discovered the power of sharing our stories.

We call our public‐narrative course The Power of Our Story—a gender-focused program that equips Latin American women with the tools to appreciate how storytelling builds sisterhood. In a safe, trusting environment, participants connect emotionally by sharing their experiences, values, and sources of hope. Together, they discover the strength of an organized community to drive the changes we aspire to achieve.

The course materials include a step-by-step workbook guiding participants through every element of narrative structure—Challenge, Choice, and Outcome—alongside the three interlinked stories that form a cohesive linked narrative: the Story of the Self, the Story of Us, and the Story of Now.
