Paula Lehman-Ewing is an award-winning investigative journalist, published author, and narrative strategist whose work sits at the intersection of justice, power, and storytelling. She is the author of Reimagining the Revolution and the founder of CO Justice Advocate Inc. (COJA), a narrative strategy and communications consultancy supporting mission-driven organizations operating in complex, high-stakes environments. Her reporting has appeared in Reuters, Forbes, Truthout, Harvard’s Inquest, and other major publications, and she is the recipient of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Silver Heart Award.

Through her reporting and advisory work, Paula came to see how often human judgment is replaced by scripts—how institutions lean on talking points, automated language, and rhetorical certainty to manage complexity. Her work is grounded in the belief that we are humans, not machines, and that narratives should be intentionally designed to reflect lived experience rather than perform persuasion. Get Me to the Gray emerged from this practice: a disciplined effort to slow conversations down, surface complexity without distortion, and translate difficult, often uncomfortable ideas into language that remains accessible to a broad public without sacrificing rigor or honesty.
