My name is Regan Douglass.
In second grade, I auditioned for the school play and won the role of Meriwether Lewis to my best friend’s Sacagawea. Affronted by the script (plodding, factually inaccurate, deeply racist, and generally lacking in drama and humor), I completely rewrote it.
It was not received well by the teachers.
The kids loved it.
Regan worked for over a decade in arts and culture, civic engagement, education, and systems-change philanthropy, developing high-impact audience engagement campaigns and media initiatives. Previously, she managed communications efforts for a public policy think tank focused on applying community wisdom and research to expand opportunity for low-income people of color. In addition to leading communications efforts in non-profit, government, and corporate settings, Regan has taught college courses and co-authored a NY Times bestselling book. Currently, she leads California’s largest network of mission-driven communications professionals.
