MISSION STATEMENT
Seattle Stories presently has fiscal sponsorship through Awake Church in Seattle. We are currently on the path to becoming a non-profit entity.
Seattle Stories provides an inclusive visual storytelling opportunity for individuals currently or formerly unhoused, allowing the unheard voices of those marginalized to be brought forward. By documenting and sharing the experiences and views of those frequently underrepresented in public discourse, a path is provided. This restores dignity, creates compassion, fosters belonging, and increases awareness and most importantly an understanding for how we can address homelessness.
We put our unhoused neighbors voices first and let them tell their own stories that are changing the negative narratives surrounding homelessness.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”
-Howard Thurman
