Today on the podcast, Elise Seyfried and Denita Stevens talk about This Is My Brave, the nonprofit bringing a mental health storytelling event to Philadelphia. Here is my interview for THIS IS MY BRAVE.

This Is My Brave was co-founded in Virginia by Jennifer Marshall and Anne Marie Ames (1958-2017), two women passionate about ending the stigma surrounding mental illness, and saving lives through storytelling. In May of 2014, TIMB debuted its first ever live show in Arlington, Virginia at the Spectrum Theatre to a sold-out crowd of nearly 400.

Over the past six years, the nonprofit organization has hosted performances across the United States and in Australia, including Greenville, SC; Valparaiso, IN (Chicagoland); Denver, CO; Iowa City, IA; Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Los Angeles, CA; Boston, MA; Lewiston, ME; Wheeling, WV; Boise, ID; New York, NY; and beyond. TIMB has been featured on the Today Show: Mind Matters with Carson Daly as well as in The Washington Post and O, The Oprah Magazine, Stage-Directions Magazine, and Health as well as many other publications. In 2019, This Is My Brave launched high school and college pilot programs.

This Is My Brave, Inc. (TIMB), the national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental illness through storytelling, comes to Philadelphia hosting auditions May 7, 14, and 15, 2022. The resulting performance will be held at the Ambler Theater on October 9, 2022. Performances will feature area community members who live with mental health challenges or substance use disorders, telling their stories through spoken word, poetry, music, dance, and more. No performing experience is necessary.
