On Season 3 of The TMI Project Story Hour: Stories for Choice, host Eva Tenuto profiles some of our favorite storytellers, all of whom share radically true stories to fight for reproductive justice.

About Season 3: Stories for Choice

Choice and true reproductive justice are not just about abortion rights; it’s about comprehensive, safe, accessible reproductive healthcare for all, and the resources to support whatever choice they choose. We pair this body of work with a customized listening and discussion guide filled with writing prompts and post-listening action items you can take today. Join us as we take a deeper dive and share the stories behind the secrets, and what happened next.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WORKSHOP LEADER

“One of the most rewarding parts of working at TMI Project is seeing what storytellers look like when they step off stage. It often looks like they’re floating out of the theater. They look taller; lighter. It’s as if something has truly been lifted. To be able to witness that over and over fills my spirit. I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do.”

Eva Tenuto is the co-founder and executive director of TMI Project. Since 2010, Eva has brought the true storytelling organization from her living room to the United Nations, and many places in between. TMI Project stories are now being listened to worldwide on the award-winning podcast, The TMI Project Story Hour. Eva is the editor and director of multiple solo shows, one of which was awarded Best Comedic Script in the United Solo Festival. Her award-winning docu-short, Vicarious Resilience, celebrated its world premiere at The Woodstock Film Festival. Her second docu-short, Locker Room Talk, debuts in 2024. Her essays have appeared in assorted anthologies and at Longreads.com.

About TMI Project & the Podcast

Since 2010, TMI Project has led nearly 150 true storytelling workshops and staged live storytelling performances by nearly 3,000 storytellers, which have been presented to audiences of over 250,000. In the past, you had to wait on line to get seated in an off-broadway theater, a cafeteria in a detention center, or perhaps you were coming to hear activists perform their stories at the United Nations. Now, you can listen from anywhere in the world. Tune in and join us. While you listen, don’t forget to ask yourself, “What is my TMI story?” We all have one.
