The Founder’s Story

I Choose to Use My Voice

“I grew up believing that silence kept me safe. It took decades to learn that speaking my truth was how I came home to myself. This is the lived-experience story that shaped The Impactful Voice Project.”

What Story Contributors Are Saying

Toby Gorniak MBE

Firstly I trust Rose and I knew that she would give my voice and story justice. Also if my story can uplift one person, then telling it and sharing it, would be important.

I felt safe and happy during the process. I particularly liked Rose’s reflection on how she felt reading it and hearing her favourite lines.

If we all share our truth we allow others to also share and uplift, the ripple
effect will be phenomenal.

Larisa Vakulina

I shared my story because I live by the principle “Everything Is Possible” and through my personal experiences this principle is confirmed to expand our consciousness and provide unlimited possibilities to start create our lives and the world a happy place. Sharing personal stories gives permission to others share theirs.

I felt very inspired and excited that my story could reach wider community.

I would say to anyone who wants to share their story – This is such a personal decision, but if you overcome any challenges in life and found the way to rise up, sharing it is an expression of your service to humanity – your story may change a life of someone.
