About The Narrative Project

Location:

4030 King Street, Houston, TX 77026, US

Mission Statement

The Narrative Foundation exists to help people rewrite their stories before their stories rewrite their endings. We use storytelling as a tool for trauma healing, truth-telling, and justice. Rooted in equity, empathy, and emotional restoration, we create spaces where marginalized voices are heard, honored, and held. Our mission is to transform silence into speech, and pain into power.

Description

The Narrative Foundation was created in 2025 to reclaim storytelling as a pathway to liberation and healing for those historically silenced, especially Black, queer, youth, and survivor communities.
Through The Narrative Project, we host community storytelling workshops, emotional literacy programming, youth narrative rewrite sessions, and healing-centered public events.
We partner with schools, nonprofits, and grassroots organizers to provide safe, sacred spaces for people to process trauma, reclaim identity, and speak their truth.
We believe stories save lives, and we’re building a movement where every voice is valued, every wound is honored, and every story can begin again.
