"NOT JUST A STAGE .
A CONVERSATION THAT SPARKS CHANGE"
Founder & Change Architect
Mariana Missakian
The UNMUTE Project took 10 years to unravel. 10 years for me to come undone, to find my voice, believe in my story, share my truth and change the narrative. And now through The Unmute Project I invite others to do the same.
And it all started when I became a mother.
Motherhood transformed me in ways I never expected. It challenged my identity and reshaped me. But above all, motherhood taught me the power of a story, and how it can connect, uplift, and inspire.
I started The UNMUTE Project because I witnessed the magic of a safe space where untold stories take center stage.
I started The UNMUTE Project, for real stories to take center stage. Because if we want to spark change, we can’t rely on trending headlines, filters and scripted conversations. To spark change we need to invite brave new voices to the stage.
The UNMUTE Project is driven by a vision that storytelling, authentic voices and intentional conversations can lead to meaningful change. By creating a platform that challenges traditional narratives and amplifies the silenced voices with intention, purpose, and resonance, we are building a community where every voice, story, and conversation has a place to be heard loudly, proudly, and unapologetically.
WHAT IS THE UNMUTE PROJECT
The UNMUTE Project is a grassroots movement that explores the untold stories and amplifies the silenced voices.
It is more than a stage; it’s a conversation that challenges the current narrative and brings much-needed attention to topics that are often overlooked or under-discussed.
Through voices, stories, and conversations, we spark action and transformation because every voice we amplify isn’t just heard; it sparks a movement, builds connections, and drives real change.
​
The UNMUTE Project is a space to celebrate voices and stories.
It was born as a response to the curated world. A world where influence is measured in likes and stories are often told with a PR budget and an agenda. But real stories; everyday life stories and conversations, the kind that change us, shape us, and make us feel understood and seen, don’t need pre-approval. They need a platform.
The UNMUTE Project is a stand against influencer culture. It’s a way of saying “no voice is too small and no story is too ordinary, because every story matters.”
​
Through The UNMUTE Project, we hope to nurture the voices within the community to foster meaningful and impactful connections and a sense of belonging that goes beyond the algorithm, the superficial, and the trending.
​
Our dream for The UNMUTE Project is to become a stage for every single member of the community to share their truths; loudly, proudly, unapologetically.
