Our Story

How Storytelling Saved My Life and Laid the Foundation for LMSvoice.

A year into recovery, I attended the funeral of a friend who lost their battle with addiction. That night, I was presented with a choice: follow the pain and try to fill the hole in my chest with enough substances to make the pain go away, or go back to the hotel and do what I had recently just learned but had always known: write my pain into purpose.

I chose the pen.

In that moment, every person who had ever given me a chance, offered me the path forward even when I couldn't see or accept it, or just told me they believed in me became a guardian angel in that room with me. There was no substance strong enough to silence the hurt I was feeling. But poetry could hold my hands long enough for me to figure out the next right thing. Even though I wouldn’t realize it until years later, the spirit of LMSvoice was born in that hotel room. 

The same gift that saved my life is the gift I want LMSvoice to be for others. Through workshops, curriculum, keynotes, documentary film, and social media, we create stories that disrupt harmful narratives: the ones imposed on us from the outside, and the ones we carry within.

We empower voices that are too often silenced. We choose to highlight hope in a world where our trauma is too often exploited for the profit of others. Because our stories don't belong to the systems that failed us, the headlines that reduce us, or the stigma that follows us.

They belong to us.

LMSvoice is committed to healing out loud, telling the truth beautifully, and reminding every person we work with that a story, told on their terms, can create the grace needed to make this a more compassionate and understanding world.
