TMI Project Storytelling Is Social Justice

TMI Project is a nonprofit transmedia organization teaching true storytelling workshops and creating inspiring live performances and bold digital content that focus on the “too much information” parts of a story, the parts typically left out because of shame or stigma. We believe that sharing radically candid, true personal narratives ignites human connection, challenges the status quo, and inspir

es both storytellers and listeners to take action for positive social change. Since 2010, TMI Project has led approximately 90 true storytelling workshops and staged live storytelling performances by more than 1,750 storytellers, which have been presented to audiences of nearly 50,000 people in schools, colleges, prisons, mental health clinics, theaters, community centers, and the United Nations.

Black August is an annual commemoration period that highlights the triumphs of Black Americans over racial, colonialist, and imperialist oppression. Moving through our final week of Black August round-up videos that align with this 31-day observance, we’re throwing it back to our Black Stories Matter performance at Kingston High School in 2017.

As a child, Ashley (she/her) struggled to understand the color of her skin— and as an early teenager, she began to realize that her racial identity was hers, and only hers: a beautiful, melanin goddess. Enjoy this clip from her story, and make sure to check out the full thing on YouTube!

We love our Club Members - Jessieca
CAPTION: We love our Club Members and all the things they have to say! Did you know: The Julie Novak Storytelling Club isn’t created in a silo; in fact, we work with our club members to help design each month’s theme, prompts, and flow. And flow (and comedy) (and heart) (and soul) are a few things club member Jessieca McNabb knows a thing or two about.

The Julie Novak Storytelling Club isn’t just a program; it’s a shared experience, largely designed by the club members who return every month to share in the joy and community that storytelling can bring. As one of our routine returnees, we thought Caitlin Lord might have a thing or two to say about her experience with The Storytelling Club!
