The Power of Storytelling

We always choose narrators based on their visibility already. We find people who have already spoken up and usually working with a partner agency. If it were survivors of slavery in South Sudan, which one of our books covered, I met a number of women in South Sudan who had been enslaved and recently freed. You work with the agency who is repatriating those young women to say, is there anybody here who's identified us? We feel uncomfortable speaking. Almost always it's people who have Already found their voice and feel comfortable being somewhat public about it. Very often we're changing names in the Voice of Witness series at their request.
