Conversations that create change: Jimmie Briggs and Anne K. Ream at the 2022 World Without Exploitation Youth Summit.

During “Conversations that create change: Meeting people where they are and moving them towards justice,” human rights journalist Jimmie Briggs and Voices and Faces Project Founder Anne K. Ream will discuss the ways our language and word choices can open people up (or shut them down) during issue-oriented conversations, consider what brain science has to teach us about breaking through ideological barriers, and lead workshop participants in a dialogue about how best to speak to social and gender-justice issues in a hyper-partisan era. Anne and Jimmie will also explore best practices for having meaningful, change-focused conversations about sexual exploitation, trafficking, and prostitution.

During “Conversations That Create Change,” Anne and Jimmie will be supported by WorldWE Youth Coalition member Willow Locke. “Conversations That Create Change” is a featured presentation of the 5th Annual World Without Exploitation Youth Summit on Wednesday, July 13th, 2022, at the Brooklyn Law School. Open to youth ages 15 -28, and featuring a roster of nationally recognized gender, racial and social justice leaders, the Summit welcomes those who seek to create a world where no one is bought, sold or exploited.

Our stories are our power.
At The Voices and Faces Project we’re using them to create change.
The Voices and Faces Project is an award-winning non-profit storytelling initiative created to bring the names, faces, and testimonies of survivors of gender-based violence to the attention of the public. Through our educational and advocacy trainings, survivor story archive and signature program, The Stories We Tell — an immersive, two-day testimonial writing workshop for those who have lived through or witnessed gender-based violence or other human rights violations — we seek to change minds, hearts, and public policies through the power of personal testimony. The Voices and Faces Project has been named one of America's Best Charities by the board of Independent Charities of America, and is a registered 501c3 organization.
