Third Space Narrative is a consulting and storytelling practice built for the in between.
The place where people negotiate identity, power, belonging, and systems simultaneously.
We help you move from scattered stories to shared meaning.
Then we turn that shared meaning into decisions, services, and campaigns that hold up under pressure.
We do not “extract stories.” We build story systems.
Ethical, community-led, and designed to protect dignity while still driving action.
Facilitated story spaces where communities share lived experience safely, name what is true, and build shared language across difference. Outcome: trust, cohesion, and a clearer collective story.
Narrative strategy and ethical story development for nonprofits, social enterprises, and government initiatives. Outcome: community voice stays central, funders and stakeholders hear the truth clearly, and the story drives action.
Coaching and training for leaders and teams to communicate with clarity, build belonging, and lead change without performative language. Outcome: stronger trust, better alignment, and messages people can repeat.
All three services run through one method: Listen to the problem and pursuit, paint the picture, then propose the next step.
Most communication fails because it starts with telling.
We start with listening.
We map the audience’s problem (where they are now) and pursuit (where they want to be).
Then we build a story people can feel, remember, and repeat.
Then we make a clear proposal that fits the moment and earns a real yes.
Listen first: problem + pursuit, real language, real stakes
Paint the picture: a specific person, specific tension, specific feelings
Propose the next step: a decision, an action, a partnership, a shift
Kuol Malou, Founder, Third Space Narrative
If you’re building programs, campaigns, or partnerships across multicultural reality, you do not need more noise.
You need a story people trust and a system that can carry it.
In one session we will:
Name the real problem (not the symptom)
Identify your audience’s problem and pursuit
Choose the one story you should tell next, and the one proposal it should lead to
