Who is Justin Taylor?
I’m a Black, Indigenous and queer social justice communications strategist based in the South.
My passion for strategy and storytelling is rooted in influencing policy change for a more just world. In my role at Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont, I collaborate with community leaders and employers to lead Goodwill’s advocacy and community engagement efforts, while holding a community-centered strategy and vision for workers and their families.
With a background in strategic communications, community organizing, policy and advocacy work on racial, social and economic justice issues, I’m deeply committed to building resilient and healthy communities rooted in collective community building and narrative change.
I focused primarily on issues of equity and justice, advocating for matters related to racial inequity, economic justice, the wealth gap, technology, working families, LGBTQIA+ rights and environmental justice. My expertise helps elevate opportunities and support for issue advocacy through human-centric storytelling and bold stances from individuals and brands.
