Who
- The Organization: TMI Project is changing the world, one story at a time, by crafting and amplifying true stories that set us free. In our workshops, we guide people who don’t often have the chance to tell their stories and be heard. In our live performances and digital content, everyday unsung heroes do more than entertain. They boldly share their “TMI ” experiences to replace shame with freedom. As they step out of isolation, and into connection with those who listen, apathy turns to empathy and inspires people to take action. Since 2010, TMI Project has led nearly 150 true storytelling workshops and staged over 200 live storytelling performances by nearly 3,000 storytellers, which have been presented to audiences of over 250,000 people in schools, colleges, detention centers, mental health clinics, theaters, the United Nations, and online, both on Youtube and our award-winning podcast, The TMI Project Story Hour.
- The Storytellers: Everyday unsung heroes who don’t often have a chance to tell their stories or be heard, all sharing the TMI parts of their stories they are most afraid to tell.
- The Audience: The TMI Project Story Hour features adult content and is geared toward people interested in social justice, human rights, arts, culture and, most importantly, storytelling. Our audience believes that it’s important to hear from marginalized communities and understand they can’t rely on mainstream media, film, radio or television to get what they’re looking for.
Why
TMI Project envisions a world where true storytelling is an agent of change; where, through the sharing of radically true, personal narratives, everyone—storytellers and listeners alike—can become empowered, release shame and stigma, and replace old understandings with new ones. We aspire to engender compassion, understanding, and public awareness. We aim to incite social, legal, and political change by providing participants the skills needed to be captivating storytellers and by amplifying the voices of populations whose stories often go unheard.
We believe podcasting is a tool for freedom and a powerful platform for amplifying the voices we most need to hear. The TMI Project Story Hour is our way of expanding our audience beyond the confines of one-time, in-person public performances and ensuring our stories are forever reaching and impacting listeners around the world.
