At Unlikely Collaborators, we believe that the stories we tell—especially the ones we tell ourselves—shape our realities. That’s why we’re thrilled to support The Michael’s Daughter Foundation through a grant for their transformative program,?Our Stories: Break the Cycle. This initiative provides a powerful platform for youth impacted by parental incarceration and the justice system, helping them reclaim their narratives through filmmaking. By guiding participants in crafting live-action and animated films, the program gives them full creative control—empowering them to reflect, challenge limiting beliefs, and imagine new possibilities for their futures. As Ciera Payton, Founder and Executive Director of The Michael’s Daughter Foundation, so beautifully put it: "For youth affected by the justice system, storytelling becomes a lifeline, offering validation, self-expression, and hope. This grant from Unlikely Collaborators allows us to expand this vital work, helping participants break harmful generational cycles and envision all that they can be." At Unlikely Collaborators, we know that external conflict stems from internal conflict—unconscious biases, beliefs, and narratives that shape our perception of the world. Programs like?Our Stories: Break the Cycle?offer young people the chance to investigate and expand their own?Perception Box, unlocking new perspectives, compassion, and resilience. We are honored to support this work and can’t wait to see the stories these young filmmakers bring to life. #Storytelling #BreakingTheCycle #UnlikelyCollaborators #PerceptionBox
