Discover how intentional storytelling can shift perspectives, shape conversations, and inspire people to take action.
The stories we tell influence what people notice, how they interpret what they see, and what they choose to do next.
At the October Social Media Breakfast Houston, Grace Rodriguez will explore how framing, perspective, and repetition affect the way audiences respond to messages. We will examine the stories we tell ourselves, the assumptions we make about others, and how social media algorithms and AI can reinforce the perspectives that we and our audiences already give our attention.
This conversation is designed to help marketers, communicators, creators, business owners, nonprofit leaders, and community builders become more intentional about the stories they tell and the responses those stories invite.
By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
- See how algorithms push audiences into narrower content bubbles and how stronger stories can reach across them.
- Recognize how the same message can land differently with different audiences.
- Work with the algorithm without losing your brand voice or integrity.
- Use framing and perspective to shape what your audience thinks, feels, shares, or does next.
- Ask better questions before creating, posting, sharing, or reacting to content.
- Attendees will also work through a short exercise to identify an idea they care about, where they have influence, and one story they could tell differently.

Space is limited. Please reserve your spot in advance so we can plan for breakfast and seating.
