About the author
Saphia Suarez

Saphia Suarez is a liberatory storyteller, telling her narratives through theater and film. When she writes and produces, she is particularly interested in leaders that are creating radical change and unearthing the power dynamics that are present in larger societal narratives. In her work, she asks herself how to support black leaders, how to use storytelling to shift culture, and how to invite people into that space.

In 2013, I was working with local Detroit organizers to protect essential community services during the city’s bankruptcy. When we sat down with the organizers, one of my mentors asked them, “Who are the people that can pick up the phone, call the governor, and know that, nine times out of ten, he will do whatever they ask?” A man in the background controlling strings attached to a pair of hands in the foreground, symbolizing the puppet-like control that billionaires have over President Trump.
