Culture. Connection. Civic storytelling—Amplified.
We’re reimagining how people experience news and information—through immersive stories, powerful experiences, and tools that build trust.

Why This Matters Now

About Us:
LF Voices Collective is a cultural storytelling platform reimagining how people connect with news and information.
Founded by Lauchlin Fields, LFVC blends journalism, public memory, and community-driven design to create stories and experiences that deepen understanding and build trust.
At the heart of our work is Amplify by LFVC, our digital publication and story syndication platform, and StoryLab, our multimedia storytelling and civic engagement hub. We also create hands-on training resources, host public exhibits and pop-ups, and collaborate with mission-driven organizations to shift narratives and connect people to what matters most.
LFVC isn’t just telling stories—we’re building a movement for reflection, belonging, and systemic change.
Our Values:
We believe stories are civic infrastructure—connecting us to each other, our histories, and our futures.
Our work is grounded in these core values:
-
Empathy First
We lead with care and curiosity. We listen deeply 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 relationships. -
Courage to Create
We take bold steps to build what hasn’t existed yet. We reimagine outdated systems and design new ways forward. -
Kindness is Power
We practice generosity and compassion as strategies for transformation—not as afterthoughts, but as our baseline. -
Connection Over Competition
We build with, not for. Collaboration, mutual growth, and shared ownership guide everything we do.
