Hélène Biandudi Hofer knows how to find the story inside the storm. A journalist, documentary filmmaker, and co-founder of Good Conflict, she helps leaders, teams and communities rewrite the script on conflict—transforming tension into something useful. She has trained 2,000+ journalists worldwide, teaching them how to cover divisive issues without fueling the fire. Hélène’s work has taken her from South Sudan to Camden, NJ—from award-winning newsrooms in New York to collaborations with CBS, NPR, and PBS. Her love for storytelling is generational, passed down from her Nkoko, the Biandudi family’s oral historian in Kinshasa, DRC.
