The Chronicled voice
Cultivating Awareness to Create Change
Our Story
The Chronicled Voice is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for and amplifying the voices of artists with disabilities and chronic illness. As an artist facing my own struggles with Fibromyalgia and autoimmune disease, I felt very alone and frustrated by the lack of community and information for artists- singers in particular- with disabilities. I started reaching out to colleagues and discovered a hidden community of artists experiencing similar challenges. I realized that the stigma surrounding disability often led these individuals to suffer in silence, fearing judgment and discrimination.
My vision for The Chronicled Voice is to break this silence by:
Raising Awareness: I aim to shine a light on the struggles of artists with chronic illness, fostering a more understanding and supportive environment.
Combating Stigma: By addressing and dismantling the stigma associated with chronic illness, I hope to create a space where artists can openly share their experiences without fear of repercussions.
Creating Change: I'm committed to overhauling industry practices, specifically in the opera industry, to ensure that singers with chronic illnesses are treated with respect and empathy. This includes advocating for more inclusive and supportive work environments.
Education and Empowerment: The organization focuses on educating both industry professionals and the public about chronic illness and "invisible" and "dynamic" disabilities, empowering affected artists with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their careers.
Inspiration: By shamelessly and authentically sharing my story and experiences, The Chronicled Voice aims to inspire others to persevere and realize that their voice matters.
Through these efforts I hope that every artist can feel valued, understood, and empowered to create art that is free from the emotional and creative confines so often thrust upon us by an ableist society.
