Bio
“I’m sure that whatever you’ve experienced, if you take yourself out of your comfort zone and connect with someone, you will definitely find some healing in that.”
Shemar Barnett
“Whenever I tell a story, I feel like it sets a part of me free. And in that freedom, I find a part of me heals.”
Afreina Noor
“Being able to share my story with the world helped me find community that I would have never found otherwise, people that understand me and my lived experiences.”
Raffela Mancuso
“As someone who’s gone through a lot of things and continues to change and metamorphosize, having people hear me and see me and listen to me really helped me heal.”
Chukuka Ebuta
“I think stories are one of the most beautiful gifts that you can actually give to anybody and they’re free! So share a story and change a life!”

Event Attendee
“All of the amazing writers and speakers! Thank you all for sharing your stories. It was an honour to get them. Thank you again @unsinkablestories for having me.”
Unsinkable Funder
“Last night’s storytelling showcase was truly moving. I was grateful to be there, and I appreciated each storyteller’s bravery and authenticity—it was an honour to witness their stories. Each was so unique and yet they all resonated. Congratulations to you and the entire Unsinkable team. The thoughtfulness, work and care that went into the evening was evident”
Unsinkable Community Partner
“I felt lucky to be in the presence of such inspiring storytellers, and the beautiful community that Unsinkable has built. I shared with our team today how much more impactful it was to hear these stories in person, especially in a digital world where opportunities like this feel far and few. I admired the bravery and vulnerability of everyone that shared their story last night, including yourself! We are so grateful for our partnership with your team and look forward to continuing the work of amplifying transformative mental health stories”
Unsinkable Advisor
“great work last night on bringing this vision and dream to fruition! It was really lovely to witness speakers step into their ‘first time on stage’ moments and see them be empowered in their own voices.”
Event Attendee
“Wow what an event! It has stayed with us long after we left and brought up conversations about how this is the kind of work that needs to be valued more in the world. Sharing and listening to people express in a space designed with that intention. Grateful to have been a part of you and your team's vision and to see it in real time. It was special to see you in speech mode and leading by example. Loved it so much.”
