Jermaine Bell on how to build a narrative — and community — through visuals.
When I first began working at social entrepreneurship space Impact Hub Baltimore (IHB) as a Baltimore Corpsfellow, my role as the program and outreach coordinator was clear.

So I took to social media and now, Instagram is the largest form of communication that the organization has. It’s far-reaching, effective and immediate.
The team, which began as SocEnt Baltimore, consisted of the three cofounders: Rodney Foxworth, Pres Adamsand Michelle Geiss. Lindsey Henley was the community host, who managed the internal activities of the volunteers and the space itself, and Ore Akins, Andrew Hazlett and Bryan Connor were three other volunteers who did our web development.
