“I think of myself as a real-life advocate who argues in the court of public opinion rather than a courtroom.," says Sue Ariza, an Argentinian-Dominican Human Rights expert and producer based in New York City. With a BA in political science and law from the University of Zurich and an MA in International Law, Sue began her career as an international lawyer before pivoting to social justice PR. "The common thread is changing the world,” she says. Sue is currently working as a communications strategist at The No. 29 Communications and has worked with TED, Pineapple Street Studios, For Freedoms, In Plain Sight and The Wide Awakes. She most recently co-produced season 2 of Poetry Unbound by On Being Studios. In her magnificent personal mission statement, Sue declares, "I am part of a forward-thinking movement that demonstrates that to advance justice, human rights, and environmentalism we do not need to sacrifice the art of design and aesthetics but rather the opposite." https://instagram.com/s_ariza?igshid=yhojkm6d2k2r
