Are you ready for COCO tonight?
We’re so excited to listen to Jordan share some gems about turning your artistry - your passion, your skill - into an enterprise. Straddling the divide between art and commerce is a challenge for many, but there is a way to grow through it and find a way to really create a cohesive relationship between your work and your WORK. Many in our industry our artists at heart, and there’s a way to honor those parts of ourselves as we move through our careers.
Tune in tonight and RSVP at tinyurl.com/COCO-Jordan
COCO is pleased to invite you to our Virtual Workshop!
Join our amazing host, Dee Smith, and guest speaker, Jordan Thierry, for COCO’s latest installment of our Virtual Series:
"Converting Your Skills and Passion into a Sustainable Creative Business"
Your talent is priceless—but your time isn’t free. This workshop helps writers, filmmakers, artists, and other storytellers transform their creative work into a consistent income through collaborations and client services. We’ll break down the biggest barriers—pricing fears, operations infrastructure, inconsistent clients, and self-doubt—and share practical steps for building a business that honors your work and pays the bills. Discover how to package, price, and promote your creative services without losing the heart of your craft.
Who better to guide us through this workshop than our guest speaker: Jordan Thierry.
Jordan Thierry is a one-of-a-kind dude.
He’s been called a master generalist, thought partner, community leader, documentary filmmaker, resource connector, international man of mystery—and that’s just the beginning.
Jordan once dreamed of being a big-time filmmaker, but he could never quite pull himself away from activists, teachers, and social workers long enough to make it in Hollywood. Those are his people. And he’s always found more purpose in the movement than the industry.
He’s led and collaborated on many creative and impactful projects throughout his career, but is most proud of his work that helps boys and men of color find healing, safety, and belonging.
He is the host of the podcast How to Build a Nonprofit, is the author of A Kids Book About Systemic Racism, and Director-Producer of Grandma’s Roses and The Black Fatherhood Project.
He founded Dream Chase Media in 2018 to help nonprofits engage in storytelling at the intersection of culture, community, and creativity.
