4 TMI PROJECT S MISSION, VISION AND HISTORY TMI Project is a non-profit organization offering transformative memoir workshops and performances that invite storytellers and audience members to explore new perspectives. TMI Project envisions a world where true storytelling is an agent of change; where, through the sharing of radically candid, true, personal narratives, everyone storytellers and listeners alike can become empowered, release shame and stigma, and replace old understandings with new ones. We aspire to engender compassion, understanding and public awareness. We aim to incite social, legal, and political change by providing participants the skills needed to be captivating storytellers, and by amplifying the voices of populations whose stories often go unheard. Through true storytelling, TMI Project focuses the spotlight on stories told by people from marginalized populations, humanizing issues often overlooked by mainstream media. We also focus on the work of emerging and veteran activists and leaders, to document the way they are changing the world, covering stories about challenges, hard work and progress; stories that may not be recognized in history books but need to be heard and recorded for future generations. Through our time-tested storytelling methodology, transformational workshops and stellar performances, TMI Project is changing the world, one story at a time. Regardless of background or experience, TMI Project storytellers become agents of change for social justice movement building by bravely and candidly sharing the too much information parts of their stories, the parts they usually leave out because they re too ashamed or embarrassed. Since 2010, TMI Project has led approximately 70 workshops and staged performances by more than 1,500 participants, which have been presented to audiences of nearly 50,000 people in schools, colleges, prisons, mental health clinics, theaters, community centers, and the United Nations.
