Have you ever been told that you're "Too much"?
To “tone it down”? That you don’t have what it takes to be successful? That your story isn’t worth publishing? That the thing you are trying to build won’t make a difference? That your voice sounds too unprofessional to persuade people? That you need to fit into someone else’s version of you to be palatable? That you don’t have anything new to say?
Our answer to these lies?
"TELL IT ANYWAY!"
Because here's the truth:
Your story has power.
If you don’t tell your story, someone else will control it for you.
And they will get it wrong.
If you don’t own your voice, someone else will sell it for you.
And they will steal the power of your truth.
This is how oppressive systems are allowed to flourish—because they control the narratives we all believe. They silence and co-opt our voices, editing us to dilute the truth of our human authenticity. Forcing us into a box that puts chains on our power.
What It Is:
‘TELL IT ANYWAY’ is an 8-week online group storytelling workshop for marginalized voices who are tired of performing to fit in everyone else’s version of the story and are ready to reclaim their voices. Whether your platform is a brand, a book, a business, or a movement, this program guides you through identifying the story the world taught you not to tell, excavating your truth, and shaping it into a message that resonates deeply.
We teach you how to show up authentically when your voice is under threat of silence.
- Get a clear understanding of why your story is key to making an impact no matter the application, and why telling it NOW matters more than ever
- Gain narrative clarity on your personal story by tracing the moments of your life that mattered
- Discover and define your own authentic voice and learn to trust what you have to say without compromise
- Turn your truth into a weapon for positive change—because the pen is mightier than the sword
- Tell your story through whatever medium you wish in a way that connects with the people who need you most
- Have confidence in your voice and a powerful sense of ownership over your narrative
After 8 live coaching sessions, weekly structured assignments, strategic guidance, and emotional accountability, you will walk away with:
- An emotionally-grounded map of your origin story
- A polished personal Mission Statement and bio — written in your unique voice —that connects deeply with your audience
- A personally completed playbook that defines your narrative voice in a way that stands out from the noise
- Confidence in your truth and your voice as a world-changing catalyst
- A clear path forward to making a real difference in this world with your story
- A supportive, trauma-aware community that sees you and supports you through the journey
This is not a writing course—it’s a narrative liberation experience. A chance to radically reclaim your story, find your voice, and weaponize your truth against systems built to erase you.

Passionate creators, marginalized founders, activists, and movement-builders who are tired of hiding who they are in order to survive in this world.
