What Story Would You Bring to the Porch?

 

Porch Conversations is a space for real conversations about support, strength, healing, and what it means to be human.

We’re not looking for polished pitches or professional biographies. We’re looking for stories.

The moments, seasons, lessons, challenges, and experiences that shaped the way you move through the world today.

Take your time as you complete this application. Answer honestly, share what feels comfortable, and tell us about the story you’d most
want to bring to the porch. We’d love to get to know you.

Name
Are you a Black woman
We're interested in the woman behind the bio. Tell us a little about who you are, what matters to you, and what makes you, you. Please do not paste your professional biography.
What's taking up space in your life right now? This could be a season of growth, healing, transition, caregiving, grief, reinvention, rest, joy, or something else entirely.
We're often shaped by a particular moment, season, relationship, loss, challenge, or realization. Tell us about the experience that shifted something for you.
Sometimes what hurts most isn't what we were carrying, it's feeling like nobody understood the weight of it. Tell us what you wish someone had seen, understood, acknowledged, or asked during that season.
Share a specific experience. What was happening in your life? What kind of support did you need? What made that experience memorable?
Looking back, what did you learn about yourself, your relationships, your needs, or your understanding of support?
We're less interested in grand gestures and more interested in meaningful moments. What happened, and why did it matter?
Did it change the way you ask for help, receive support, set boundaries, trust others, or move through the world?
Tell us about the story, experience, season, or turning point you'd like to explore in conversation. We're looking for personal stories, not presentations or teaching topics.
For example, being heard, being seen, emotional safety, care, rest, practical help, or something else entirely.
What drew you to the podcast, and why does this conversation feel meaningful to you?
Was it a particular episode, the Support Languages™ framework, a social media post, a recommendation, or something else?
Imagine a Black woman listening while driving to work, folding laundry, sitting in a doctor's office, or trying to make it through a difficult season. What do you hope stays with her after the conversation ends?
We want our guests to feel comfortable and emotionally safe. Let us know if there are topics, experiences, or details you'd prefer not to discuss.
