THIS IS Our STORY OF CHANGE

"Let.Go" Mural by Rose Jaffe, 2017

I know that the truth liberates.

And that telling your story can help change everything.

For you, and for all of us.

Hi. I’m Leah Harris. I’m a writer & founder of The Story of Change.

I work in support of truth-telling, justice-doing, and liberation.

Individual, and collective.

Personal, and political.

I work 1:1 with you as a truth-telling mentor and provide 1:1 support to changemakers working in organizations and communities.

And I partner with your organizations to facilitate customized workshops and trainings, as well as keynote presentations
for your conferences and gatherings.

“It is an heretic that makes the fire. Not she which burns in it.” Spotted at Penn library. Feels apt for these times.

a poem from me to you.

eclipse.

awoke to the “go back to your country” horrors
blooming like a bloodstain
on the fabric
of this nation
by afternoon
the injustice of the “Justice Department” decision
on Eric Garner’s murder
sat heavy on the chest
rage does not
invite deep breaths
‘i can’t breathe’
does not begin
to describe it
i cast a poem for all
who can’t breathe
under the weight
of these times
may our lungs
open and with them
our throats
voicing all that needs
to be truthed
breathing all that needs
to be birthed
into reality
i send love
in shallow breaths
in the form of words
love the force
that moves this tiger lily
to bloom
so stubbornly
to reach
so defiantly
toward the sun

“I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

My Bubbe Sylvia, the woman who raised me, was a badass B. I’ve been thinking about her a lot today for some unknown reason. This picture is from when she was a Morse Code instructor during WWII. .

We had some real quality framily time.

Honeysuckle oil is a fantastic support for anyone who has (understandable!) anxiety about lifting their voice - in writing, speaking, or any way. Dab just a drop at your throat - it works wonders and smells heavenly. I received this from F&F Botanica in New Orleans, which has sadly closed. 😢
