Speak Wild collaborates to amplify advocacy and resources, mental health, and wellness by and for targeted communities, through creative storytelling.
We creatively raise awareness around mental health, build community, drive donations towards resources, and engage towards healing, thriving, and inspiring each other together.
Speak Wild encourages authentic narratives that lead to meaningful social change via storytelling, poetry, visual art, performance, and film.
Our team's creative projects have partnered with targeted communities to welcome Muslim immigrants at SFO during the Muslim ban, covered rent and medical care for Syrian refugee families via creative advocacy at the Teen Vogue Conference, installed a Healing Room of poetry at the Alena Museum of African Diaspora in Oakland, CA, launched content celebrating and driving funds to Los Angeles underserved youth’s social impact ideas with the support of Virgin Group’s Richard Branson, and more.
