Eryn Danielle — ”Whose voices are going to be highlighted and amplified?”

The intersection of creativity and problem-solving has proven to be a vital combination as we collectively endure global crises. Perhaps no one understands this better than Eryn Danielle, a New York-based creative professional, movement artist, and founder.

From her enduring love of dance to spearheading social and brand initiatives for some of the most admired companies in the world, Eryn understands how stories move people. As the most recent devastating stories and actions of egregious racism ignited outrage around the United States, Eryn called upon her creative prowess and activated her love of community-building to create Allies Doing Work—a digital destination that provides a "community-driven space for intersectionality, radical accountability, and active allyship."

While social media can only yield so much change, the access platforms like Allies Doing Work provide allow people from all walks of life to work together to dismantle racist systems. But if Eryn’s work has taught us anything in recent weeks, it is that the most profound work begins far beyond the confines of our digital devices: It starts with our individual decision to create a more equitable world for all, once and for all.

In this interview, Eryn shared more about the intersection of creativity and activism, the importance of intersectional allyship, her relationship with movement, and why she thinks slow content is a critical component of community-building.
