About Vanessa Vancour

Hi there, I\'m Vanessa Vancour—the founder of the strategic storytelling house we call Vancourage I\'m a two-time Murrow Award Winning storyteller, bilingual editorial consultant, and Latinx marketer who’s committed my 16+-year career to bringing diverse narratives—and meaningful conversations—along with me to every newsroom, classroom, and ad-agency boardroom I\'ve been a part of. Together with my team, we bring extensive experience as journalists, editors, and community-engagement strategists to the table. But more importantly—we bring a deeply fresh perspective, dang good questions, and an innate knack for the kind of storytelling that adds meaning, makes waves, and moves the needle.
