Hi, I’m danise sugita.

I originally started Voices to highlight the stories of people working toward a more just and compassionate world.

But something shifted as I began recording these conversations. With each interview, I found myself witnessing not just stories of action, but stories of survival, love, and identity. Stories shaped by histories of displacement, discrimination, trauma, and resilience.

What started as a platform for changemakers slowly revealed itself as a sanctuary for marginalized voices to speak their truths. Voices That Propel Us is where justice meets action and community voices rise. In each episode, we spotlight changemakers, disruptors, and everyday heroes working at the frontlines of equity and liberation. Through powerful storytelling and candid conversations, we explore what it means to build a more just world—together.
