Sharing our stories. Strengthening our communities.

​Window Seat Media weaves the stories that often go unshared into the fabric of our public life.

About Us
Community Narratives

Support Local Community Oral History & Storytelling

At Window Seat Media, we gather people together to share stories that spark conversation, connection, and social change. We do this because we believe we write our future with the stories we narrate, and we want to co-create a more inclusive, connected, and just world.
