The Facing Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization<br />

that connects people through stories to strengthen communities.<br />

Founded in Muncie, Indiana,<br />

by J.R. Jamison and Kelsey Timmerman,<br />

the organization has connected<br />

writers, storytellers, artists, educators, and community leaders<br />

in over 100 communities across the country.<br />

Hailed by The Huffington Post, Harlem World Magazine, and Soul Train<br />

as one of three oral history projects to watch,<br />

The Facing Project provides a model, tools, and a platform<br />

for communities to arm themselves with stories<br />

to begin crucial conversations on social justice issues—<br />

neighbor to neighbor, community to community—<br />

by discussing solutions<br />

and exploring healing<br />

through their own narratives.<br />
