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.

Here’s a new piece unpacking Big Pharma's alliance with Big Tech, the “new & improved" business model, & the implications for our rights/bodily autonomy. Link in bio! Thanks for reading.

A classic image from a 1970s psychiatric survivor/mad pride protest (location unknown). You bet your ass we’re paranoid! The sign in the back says “Physicians, do no harm.” #madpride

September 14 is World Hearing Voices Day! It’s time to reclaim the experience of voice-hearing from those who would pathologize and even criminalize our experiences. Yes we can change the world.

For my entire adult life, I’ve been on a fact-finding mission to understand what happened to my mother when she ran away to California in 1968, and everything that happened after, when she was snatched by the psychiatric system. Today, looking for a suitcase, I found a cassette recording of an interview I did with my grandmother in 2004, presumably about this subject. I have no recollection of doing this interview, but feeling excited to listen.

I signed up for Gaslight the System with @liberationspring last fall, and I simply cannot recommend this unlearning experience enough. Comprehensive, feminist, and decolonial AF. Apply if you’re called - you will be glad you did. ⚡️ Posted @withrepost • @liberationspring Have you been called crazy? You’re probably not crazy, but the system sure is. Instead of being gas-lit ourselves, let’s gaslight the structures that profit from our self-doubt.

Back for the 2nd autumn in a row, we're offering Gaslight the System: the Politics of Madness & Sanity. Embrace your mad brilliance in an online feminist class this autumn. Reclaim your powers of perception!

Applications for Gaslight the System are due Monday! For more info & to apply go to liberationspring.com.
