Welcome to Shine Collective.
The purpose of Shine Collective is to collect stories of struggle, strength, and healing to foster a community of hope for survivors. We believe that stories are powerful and have the ability to build understanding, cultivate empathy, and ultimately create change. Every story matters.

We want to hear your story. Don’t know where to start? Stories often have a beginning, middle, and end, although for many of us our healing is ongoing. Stories can focus on events, experiences, or emotions. For some, stories are used to depict the struggles and pain they have been through. For others, stories can depict the growth they feel or hope to feel. This is your story and you can tell it however you want. We are here to listen. Together we can create a wave of change.
