Our Story
LF Voices Collective was born from a deeply personal connection to storytelling, shaped by Lauchlin’s experiences growing up in Mississippi and her journey as a journalist, storyteller, and innovator. She and her wife, Olivia, now raise their two sons in the same house where generations of family stories were shared—a legacy that inspires LFVC’s mission to create spaces where all voices are valued and connections thrive.
Our Mission
To amplify diverse voices and create inclusive spaces—physical, digital, and experiential—where people feel seen, empowered, and connected through storytelling and innovation.
Why We Exist
We believe that stories are powerful tools for change. When people see themselves reflected in narratives, policies, and shared experiences, it fosters understanding, empathy, and action. LFVC bridges the gaps in traditional storytelling, reimagining how organizations connect with their audiences and build lasting impact.
At LFVC, We:
Inspire Collaboration
- Ensure every voice is heard and valued
- Break down silos within organizations to align teams around shared goals
Reimagine Journalism
- Move beyond outdated metrics
- Create storytelling strategies that connect meaningfully with audiences
Inspire Empathy
- Design experiences that connect people and communities through shared narratives
