Honoring Our Launch Partners

Movements are not born alone

They are built with brave hearts who say yes before the path is paved.

At Tell Love Stories, we honor the first souls who gathered with us—who trusted the idea of creating spaces for love, connection, and truth. They were our first circle. Our first spark. They are forever part of its heartbeat.

Maria Dakas

Maria brought a grounded, luminous spirit to the earliest Tell Love Stories gatherings.
With a heart tuned to both celebration and soul work, she helped us see that love stories live not only in grand moments—but in quiet, breathtaking truths.
Her presence reminded us that trust begins with simply showing up, open-hearted.

Fiona Stevenson

Fiona arrived with fierce tenderness and deep intuition.
She made space for stories that were messy, beautiful, unfinished—and in doing so, she made room for the real.
Her courage to sit in the complexity of love became a living example of the kind of circle we dreamt of creating.

Patrice Webb

Patrice illuminated the power of both silence and story.
She reminded us that love is not just in the telling—but in the listening, the witnessing, the reverent holding of another’s truth.
Her presence was a quiet cornerstone for what Tell Love Stories would become.

Irene Pace

Irene carried a spirit of timeless belonging into the earliest gatherings.
Wise, steady, and luminous, she helped stitch together a space where every story—every voice—felt sacred.
Her gift was showing us that memory itself is an act of love.

To Maria, Fiona, Irene, and Patrice
Thank you for believing in something that was only a whisper.
You helped build the first bridge. You are part of every story that crosses it.
