If We Don’t Tell Our Stories, Who Will? | The Collective Experience with Tina Torres October is about using our voices and sharing the stories that deserve to be heard. In this episode of The Collective Experience, brought to you by the BrwnGrlz Collective, we sit down with Tina Torres, founder of She Did That Events, LLC, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, advocacy, and the many ways our personal journeys shape the work we do. From planning weddings, fundraisers, and special events to serving as an officiant and custom mixologist, Tina brings creativity and care to every occasion. She also brings that same passion to advocacy, using her voice as a survivor, motivational speaker, and childhood trauma advocate to raise awareness around domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, and other social issues. Tina’s story reminds us that sharing our experiences can help others feel seen, heard, and supported. This October, we’re making space for the stories that can inspire understanding, connection, and change.
