Why they matter for gatherings

Adrienne Maree Brown is an emergent strategy author and movement facilitator who writes and teaches about collective liberation and adaptive organizing practices. She works at the intersection of social justice, facilitation, and narrative change.

Facilitators and event designers should engage with Brown’s work to understand how to support self-organizing groups through uncertainty. Her approach emphasizes responsive, organic processes that align with evolving group needs and cultural contexts.

Brown developed the Emergent Strategy framework, which prioritizes adaptability and learning in movement-building and collective decision-making.
