Mission Statement
The Starfish Connection is dedicated to building thriving communities by empowering individuals and fostering connection through crisis funding and community storytelling.
Description
Crisis Funding and Storytelling build hope in our community. We connect through what we have lived, we can find hope in the triumphs of others, and seeing our own resilience in someone else brings people together. We can end the need for Crisis Funding if through storytelling, we learn from our histories, hold space for all people, and use our voices to create a fabric of support that transcends all that divides us.
The TOT is a mobile recording (audio only) studio. TOT gives people a place to tell the stories of their histories and experience. Through telling our stories we regain agency over experience, self-heal, and build community.
Storytelling creates connections between people where we may not normally find commonality and preserves layers of history that inform our present lives and impact our futures. Our intention is to provide space for underrepresented people to tell their stories, magnifying their voices that are so often unheard.
