Liz Morgan is an experienced educator, facilitator, and Harlem based cultural worker with over a decade of work alongside youth, educators, and community organizations across New York City. Her expertise spans program design, culturally responsive arts education, curriculum development, and professional learning for youth serving practitioners grounded in care, clarity, and liberation.

Liz’s background as a teaching artist and arts educator has shaped her approach to facilitation, where she integrates creativity, critical inquiry, and social justice frameworks. She has trained and coached hundreds of students, teachers, and organizers through partnerships with the Broadway Advocacy Coalition, Theatre of the Oppressed NYC, the Yeredon Center for Malian Arts, and grassroots organizations committed to youth development and community power. She is also the co author of The Wildcard Workbook, a globally used resource supporting practitioners in adapting Theatre of the Oppressed techniques to their own justice work.

In her previous role as Director of Training and Pedagogy at Theatre of the Oppressed NYC, where she served for nearly a decade, Liz guided practitioners through complex questions of identity, power, and pedagogy. She developed train-the-trainer resources, coached emerging facilitators, and mentored young people into leadership roles, several of whom now facilitate programs across the city. Her facilitation and coaching style is trauma informed, improvisational, and rooted in shared inquiry, creating learning environments where practitioners feel both challenged and supported.

Throughout her career, Liz has collaborated with community organizations, city agencies, and advocacy groups, including the Brooklyn Movement Center, The Fortune Society, Riders Alliance, and the NYC Commission on Human Rights, to design workshops, build learning experiences, and integrate culturally grounded practices into spaces of political education, evaluation, and organizational growth.

Liz holds a BA and MFA in Theatre and Acting from Brown University. She is also a writer whose work includes the viral poem Why I Was Late Today and Will Probably Always Be Late as a Black Woman, which reflects her commitment to truth telling, cultural insight, and Black women’s lived experiences.
