Growing up in South Seattle, he experienced first-hand the impact of one-dimensional stories on marginalized communities, which taught him the value of authentic narratives. After an unfulfilling stint in the investment world during his twenties, Marcus returned to his community with a newfound purpose of telling stories with nuance, complexity, and multidimensionality with the hope of advancing social change. This led him to become a writer and found the South Seattle Emerald. An award-winning storyteller, he was awarded the Seattle Human Rights Commissions’ Individual Human Rights Leader Award for 2020, and named the inaugural James Baldwin Fellow by the Northwest African American Museum in 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/1622652159161-10NYAL2H5WMDAJ5J8N8H/readying+to+rise+marcus+harrison+green.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/1603243057706-OVED1MEVFSSGKXSBITBK/emeraldreflectionsbook.png Home - Emerald Reflections 2: A South Seattle Emerald Anthology Seattle’s most diverse community has a story to share with the world, a narrative of resistance, resilience, hope, tragedy, triumph, and passion.

Not everyone has that power or the ability to act on it. Too often that opportunity has been denied to historically marginalized groups. Much of our media systemically pushes them and their stories to the edges of society. But we're proof that if you speak loudly enough, your voice can still triumph, even from the margins. Every single podcast will strive to spotlight, elevate and amplify stories not just about our marginalized communities, but from within, and alongside them. Join us as we loudly trumpet Life On the Margins.

But what does it look like when white people talk to each other about race? Green is the founder and editor-in-chief of the South Seattle Emerald. He was also recently a scholar-in-residence at Town Hall. As part of his residency, he wrote a play called "Caucasians Anonymous." The play is about five white characters who are participating in a 12-step program to treat what Green calls an "addiction to whiteness." He and Emerald Executive Director Marilee Jolin, who read for one of the characters at a staged reading in June, sat down with KNKX reporter Simone Alicea to talk about the "intoxication of whiteness" and how Green was inspired to pass the torch on the conversation about racism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/1603245769407-NZCMK44QY1YY4E1K5Y6Y/marcusharrisongreen-southseattleemerald.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/1603242599989-YRFNP8PEZYME1LZIDG32/DSC08466.jpg Press Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/1603246627637-NKT2PXEYVMDEWW8HR4XF/JUNE+23+2020+JAKE+GRAVBROT.jpg Press Kit https://www.marcusharrisongreen.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://www.marcusharrisongreen.com/speeches-and-hosting daily 0.75 2023-03-01 https://www.marcusharrisongreen.com/links daily 0.75 2022-08-07 https://www.marcusharrisongreen.com/books daily 0.75 2022-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/c759145f-5374-461f-abbe-6bcecdd3196e/readying%2Bto%2Brise%2Bmarcus%2Bharrison%2Bgreen.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f307a15bd45f1348c1aba8e/82352370-3ba6-41fe-8f02-b973f8f197ef/Screen+Shot+2022-07-19+at+11.51.14+AM.jpg
