Meet the Presenter - Denise Speck - Storytelling to Revive Trinidad & Tobago’s Cocoa Sector

Denise Speck

Denise Speck was born and raised in Germany and is a graduate in sustainable entrepreneurship, an entrepreneur, a photography enthusiast, a consultant, an ever-learning student. She spent the past 7+ years in The Netherlands to pursue a Masters of Science in Sustainable Entrepreneurship at the University of Groningen / Campus Fryslân) and conducted her final research project about “Digital Storytelling to Foster Sustainable Development”.  

During her study, she revealed a theoretical gap in literature exploring the potential of digital storytelling within sustainable entrepreneurship and a lack of guidance on how such practices could be oriented towards creating sustainable development. 

Receiving the opportunity to work as a storytelling consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), she travelled to Trinidad & Tobago to put her insight into practice and support a Cocoa Cluster in Trinidad & Tobago (https://www.otctt.org) that aims to revive Trinitario Cocoa and provide fair livelihoods for the actors involved in the supply chain. She is also co-directing a short documentary called “Trinitario - on the edge” (IG: @trinitario_cocoa_film). 

Through her insight, she wants to support entrepreneurs to develop their businesses and gain more regenerative value through different storytelling practices.
