The Power of Storytelling | Ruth Ntumba | TEDxWarwick Salon

In Ruth’s talk, she explained how her time at Warner Bros. Discovery taught her the power of storytelling. Through working behind the scenes of the entertainment industry, Ruth explored the power dynamics of storytelling on the big screen and the significance of diverse storytellers, which she believes there is a lack thereof. She recounted the previous attempts across the industry by producers and directors to reflect these diverse experiences, which have often been myopic and tone-deaf to what those from these particular backgrounds need and want.
Ruth goes on to highlight how storytelling can intertwine with our personal lives and its power in navigating uncharted territories. Her work with underrepresented creatives and individuals led her to understand the importance of learning from others, especially through their diverse, nuanced experiences, which may be alien to oneself. She argues that through our active interest in learning from each other, storytelling has the power to influence how we write our chapter during our time in uncharted territories. Ruth is an alumna of the University of Warwick, graduating with First Class honors in History in 2021. Ruth’s journey into the world of communication and engagement began as a fresh graduate at Warner Media (now, Warner Bros. Discovery). Here, she honed her skills in Internal Communications and Engagement. This early exposure to the world of media provided her with a deep understanding of the importance of connecting people and ideas through storytelling. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
