Permission First
A story is not published simply because someone attended a program. Public use should be voluntary and approved.
Consent mattersCommunity Stories
Rooted & Rising believes stories can create hope without turning a person’s pain into marketing. Participant stories are published only when the person has chosen to share and approved the public use of their experience.
