"When it comes to storytelling I believe it’s important that we hear new voices, new perspectives so that we can find new solutions to old problems."

“We need to rebalance the content of our newspapers, TV, radio and social media. This is an ambitious initiative to start tilting stories in the right direction - and I’m supporting it!”

“It is an amazing platform for social change. Not only did it give us a platform to tell our story, the team behind it pushed it into the mainstream media enabling us to gain funding to support the countless young people in our communities. ”

Simeon Moore, DatsTV, Being the Story Speaker
