Our Values:
At LFVC, we believe stories are a catalyst for connection and transformation.
Our work is rooted in:
- Empathy First
We lead with care. We listen deeply, honor lived experience, and hold space for stories that heal, challenge, and connect. - Authenticity Always
We believe truth-telling requires vulnerability, courage, and showing up as our full selves — in our stories and in our work. - Courage to Create
We take bold steps to build what hasn’t existed yet. We challenge outdated systems and imagine new ways forward through storytelling and design. - Kindness is Power
We practice soft power — generosity, care, and compassion — as a radical strategy for transformation and trust-building. - Connection Over Competition
We build with, not for. Collaboration, mutual growth, and collective strength guide everything we do.
