The Voices and Faces Project and RefuSHE have partnered to bring our award-winning storytelling program to Nairobi. |

Writing a new refugee story: Discover our newest edition of LEAP, a Voices and Faces Project literary journal. |
|
|
Borders are closing. Nationalism is rising. And politicians and pundits are too often speaking unsympathetically about the migrant community. Which means that if you are a refugee, the story being told about you isn't being told by you.
LEAP Volume 3: Writing a New Refugee Story was developed to change that. Featuring work from the extraordinary community of refugee girls who took part in The Voices and Faces Project's Stories We Tell writing workshop at RefuSHE in Nairobi, Kenya, our teen-focused literary journal features voices that are truthful, hopeful and powerful.
A complimentary digital edition of LEAP is available to you as an Apple Book or digital download.
To receive a limited edition print issue of LEAP, make a donation of $100 or more before 3/15. All donations will be applied to The Voices and Faces Project's Stories We Tell Scholarship fund, so a new cohort of girls can take part in our program.

Part personal history of Voices and Faces Project founder Anne K. Ream's experience rebuilding her life in the wake of sexual violence, part memoir of a multi-country journey spent listening to survivors, Lived Through This has been adapted for the stage by Anne K. Ream, award-winning playwright Marilyn Campbell-Lowe, and award-winning new talent Caity-Shea Violette. Directed by 16th Street Theater's Ann Filmer, the theatrical adaptation of Lived Through This features an ensemble of actors and live musical performances inspired by the rock and soul playlist that helped the book's author heal. This is a play about the lives we live after saying #MeToo, and the gorgeous, funny, outspoken, all-too human women and men who are living them. A talkback with the book's author will follow a special March 2, 2020 performance at Lagunitas Theater in Chicago; get your tickets now. |

Since it was piloted in 2014, The Voices and Faces Project's award-winning Ugly Truth anti-trafficking campaign has gone national, traveling to seven US cities, making over 700 million audience impressions, and contributing to changed minds, hearts and laws on human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Most recently, The Voices and Faces Project partnered with Rotary International and CA-based non-profit organization 3 Strands Global Foundation to bring our Ugly Truth campaign to Sacramento, CA, creating a model that can be accessed by Rotary communities across the globe. In January, 2020, two of the driving forces behind our Rotary collaboration - Voices and Faces Project founder Anne K. Ream and Research Director Katie Feifer — spoke about the campaign and the issue of human trafficking at the Rotary World Peace Conference 2020, a global gathering of over 3,000 Rotarians, community leaders, and policymakers.Thanks, Anne and Katie, for bringing your media and storytelling expertise to bear on behalf of those who have been exploited or trafficked.
