About Us
Tell My Truth & Shame The Devil is a UK-registered Community Interest Company (CIC) that provides a revolutionary podcast and media platform dedicated to exposing truth, empowering survivors, and fostering collective healing within the Black British Caribbean community. Our focus is on survivors of childhood sexual abuse who have long been silenced, misrepresented, or shamed into secrecy.
We believe in the power of storytelling, cultural therapy, and strategic visibility to reclaim narratives, break generational cycles, and spark radical transformation.
Our core values are:
- Truth as Power
- Love as Law
- Each One Teach One
- Black Cultural Sovereignty
- Healing Through Honesty
We are building a strong, grassroots team of creatives, outreach leaders, and media change makers to help elevate and protect this movement.
Role Purpose
As a Volunteer Outreach & Partnership Specialist, you will be a key architect in building relationships with podcast guests, grassroots organisations, charities, sponsors, and advocates who share our mission.

This role is ideal for someone with passion for justice, knowledge of the Black British and Caribbean experience, and the emotional intelligence to support trauma-informed work.
