ABOUT

A new way to use my voice.



Coles Whalen is a speaker, performer, and advocate who helps people understand what it means to rise after life changes you, and how personal experience can become a catalyst for real, meaningful change.

ON BECOMING A SPEAKER

“I’ve identified as a musician for most of my adult life. But when I spoke at NCVLI, something clicked. I saw how deeply the audience connected with my story and realized the music wasn’t separate from the storytelling. It made the storytelling more powerful.

I don’t want to be defined solely by what happened to me. I want people to see what I’ve done with it. How I’ve taken my experience, my advocacy, and the music I’ve always been known for and brought them together in a way that feels entirely new.”

WHAT SHE BRINGS TOGETHER

Three things she’d spent a career keeping in separate rooms.

01

The experience

A thirteen-year stalking ordeal and a fight that reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

READ HER STORY

02

The advocacy

A Colorado law was passed, and the same work is underway in nine more states and D.C.
