PARTNERS

Our ongoing collaboration with the nationally acclaimed TMI Project is rooted in the belief that when boys and men are given spaces to unlearn male socialization and share their full selves, it creates a foundational shift in their relationships with each other, with women, and with the rest of the world.

Locker Room Talk was created by and features TMI Project, a non profit organization that helps craft and amplify the true stories of everyday unsung heroes. Their storytellers do more than entertain. They speak the unspeakable to replace isolation and shame with connection and freedom, for themselves and those who listen.
