Tell Me Your Story is an invitation and a reckoning. A woman in yellow, grounded and luminous, stands holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other. She is both listener and author, witness and narrator. Nothing about her posture suggests haste. This is a moment of intention.

The cowboy hat situates her within a lineage of resilience and independence, but here it is softened. It becomes less about frontier mythology and more about lived experience, someone who understands the weight of stories, where they come from, and what it costs to carry them.

Yellow is used not as decoration, but as meaning. It speaks to warmth, clarity, and courage—the courage it takes to tell the truth and the generosity it takes to receive it. Against her steadiness, the notebook and pen become symbols of agency. Stories are no longer something that happen to her; they are something she holds, shapes, and preserves.

This piece centers on voice. On the idea that every life is worthy of being recorded, remembered, and honored. The act of writing becomes an act of care, and listening becomes a form of strength.
