Tmi Project

TMI Project is changing the world, one story at a time, by crafting and amplifying true stories that set us free. In our workshops, we guide people who don’t often have the chance to tell their stories and be heard. In our live performances and digital content, everyday unsung heroes do more than entertain. They boldly share their “TMI ” experiences to replace shame with freedom. As they step out of isolation, and into connection with those who listen, apathy turns to empathy and inspires people to take action. TMI Project envisions a world where true storytelling is an agent of change; where, through the sharing of radically true, personal narratives, everyone—storytellers and listeners alike—can become empowered, release shame and stigma, and replace old understandings with new ones. We aspire to engender compassion, understanding, and public awareness. We aim to incite social, legal, and political change by providing participants the skills needed to be captivating storytellers and by amplifying the voices of populations whose stories often go unheard. In the last 15 years, we’ve:* Reached nearly audience members.* Worked with over storytellers.* Produced more than 250 performances.* Produced an award-winning podcast with listeners in 167 countries.* Toured two documentary films across the country to national acclaim.
