Yesterday, Executive Director Katie Ford and TBT graduate-turned-volunteer facilitator Lisa Davis-Bell celebrated International Day of the Girl by attending a luncheon hosted by Sara Hirsh Bordo of Women Rising Productions. Sara is seeking financial support to finish her latest film, We Go Higher: A Documentary of Hope From The 9/11 Kids, which has organically evolved into a much larger project that addresses children affected by random acts of violence. Lisa and Katie were treated to three-minute segment of the film and a talk-back with two of the documentary's featured teens -- Delaney Colaio, who lost her father and two uncles in 9/11, and Tyah Roberts, a student at Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Lisa and Katie were so inspired by the wisdom and resiliency of these amazing teenagers who refuse to be defined by the violence and trauma they've experienced and who are passionate about amplifying the voices of ALL the children affected by 9/11 and mass school shootings because they realize the healing power of our stories.
That's something that we at Truth Be Told understand very well. Through our stories, we find healing. Together, we all go higher.
ABOUT WE GO HIGHER
When Delaney Colaio was nearly three years old, she lost her father and two uncles in the 9/11 attacks. After being asked in 2017 to deliver a victim’s statement at Guantanamo Bay against the men accused of the attacks, Delaney realized that she was not comfortable speaking on behalf of the 3,050 other kids who lost parents who she never knew, and quickly began her journey to meet them for the first time. As filming progressed with more than fifty 9/11 Kids filmed, so did the world: Manchester. Las Vegas. Parkland. Delaney recognized how deeply connected survivors of trauma are, and in doing so, has taken a stand to ignite a global community of others holding candles of hope and activism. From the surviving loved ones of victims from the attacks of September 11th, Newtown, Orlando, Manchester, Las Vegas, and Parkland, comes WE GO HIGHER: a light-bearing documentary that teaches us of the power of belonging, inspires healing resilience, and transforms darkness into hope. Directed and Produced by Sara Hirsh Bordo. Currently in Production. www.wegohigherfilm.com
For the past year, Kate Fly has been training as a Talk to Me Movement volunteer facilitator at Lockhart prison. Last spring, she moved from Austin to Bryan mid-semester and it did not deter her from continuing to make the weekly commute to Lockhart prison and honoring her commitment to the women inside. 💞✊
A few weeks ago, Kate presented about her work with Truth Be Told at Pecha Kucha Night in Bryan-College Station. PK speakers must follow a 20x20 storytelling format (present 20 slides with 20 seconds of commentary for every slide). We're excited to share Kate's Pecha Kucha presentation with you here! Thank you, Kate, for all the ways you show up for Truth Be Told and the women we serve!

The magnificence in truth-telling and the healing power it offers the community. Speaking authentically can be one of the greatest gifts and challenges we face. Learn what happens when respectful listening meets acceptance in some of the toughest classrooms. Kate Fly believes that truth has the powe...Also happening in this world: 37 volunteer Respectful Witnesses are coming to prison with us tonight to LISTEN to women speak their TRUTH because they BELIEVE in a woman's ability to RISE in the face of past trauma and abuse and OVERCOME.✊💞✊💞✊💞
