The Problem
Millions of dollars flow into our communities to fund essential services, yet policymakers often lack direct insight into how to allocate these resources effectively—especially for those who need support the most, right now.
Why Now?
In a world facing urgent challenges—from public health crises to economic hardships—now is the time to listen to those most affected. More than ever, organizations, governments, and communities must work together to address deep-rooted issues with solutions that reflect real lived experiences.
With My Voice Our Stories (MVOS)™, stories become the foundation for change. By harnessing the power of storytelling, we are ushering in a new era of community-led transformation, where personal experiences shape decisions at the highest levels.
The time is now. The stories are ready to be told. The solutions are waiting to be uncovered. My Voice Our Stories (MVOS)™ ensures these voices are heard—and that they drive real, lasting change.

My Voice Our Stories (MVOS)™ Aims
My Voice Our Stories (MVOS)™ is designed to create lasting impact at both the system and individual levels, improving health outcomes, addressing root challenges (such as HIV prevention and destigmatization), and fostering public-private partnerships that strengthen communities.
Each aim includes specific goals and objectives:
-
Harness community storytelling as a powerful and underutilized source of qualitative data for system planning, using evidence-based models like mixed-methods analysis and implementation science.
-
Support economic resilience by building a human resource pathway—helping community members move from storytelling to system planning, with access to relevant training programs.
-
Strengthen cross-sector and civil society collaboration by developing communication tools and materials for schools, community centers, clinics, and other local organizations.
-
Drive local economic resilience by fostering partnerships between small businesses, large corporations, and community groups to create shared solutions.
-
Improve health outcomes, including targeted efforts to enhance HIV Care Continuum performance—starting with key populations such as young Black gay men (13-24) and Black gay men over 50 in early program cycles.
Through these aims, My Voice Our Stories (MVOS)™ transforms personal narratives into actionable insights—ensuring policy, programs, and partnerships are shaped by the voices and needs of the communities they serve.
