Meet the Founder: Jonathan Anderson

Survivor. Storyteller. Systems Disruptor.

At the heart of Impact Narrative Media is a story that refuses to stay silent. That story begins with Jonathan Anderson, a survivor of violence who transformed personal tragedy into a platform for systemic change.

Stabbed seven times and left with three cut fingers, Jonathan’s path might have ended there — another name in a file, another case unresolved. But instead of retreating, he chose to speak. Not just for himself, but for thousands of others whose truths have been erased, minimized, or ignored by the very institutions meant to protect them.

Jonathan founded Impact Narrative Media with one radical idea: stories can move systems. Not performative awareness or surface-level storytelling, but real, unfiltered, trauma-informed narratives rooted in lived experience and guided by justice.

“We don’t just tell stories. We challenge power. We document harm. We mobilize truth.” — Jonathan Anderson​

A Mission Born from Survival

Jonathan is not your typical media executive. His life is his curriculum. His pain is his purpose. After navigating the courts, the healthcare system, and social services — often alone — he began documenting the gaps, the patterns, and the silences. What emerged wasn’t just testimony. It was evidence. It was media. It was resistance.

Impact Narrative Media now publishes three flagship series:

• Voicefile — Raw, survivor-led podcast interviews

• The Redacted — Micro-documentaries exposing censorship and complicity

• Laws of Silence — Legal deep dives that connect cases to policy reform​

• And under Jonathan’s leadership, the platform has achieved:

• Over 90,000 social impressions

• 100+ survivor stories documented

• 12 pending partnerships, including Justice Sans Frontières, ACLU, and The Innocence Project​

A Builder of Movements

Jonathan’s work expands far beyond journalism. He’s also the founder of:

• Justice Sans Frontières, providing legal support and advocacy for victims of violence and wrongful conviction

• Immigration Sans Frontières, focused on rights-based support for migrants and stateless persons

• StudioNYNE, a creative studio supporting survivor-led content and campaigns​

He collaborates with lawyers, journalists, policy analysts, and funders who believe in media as a tool for justice, not just storytelling. His style is bold but trauma-informed. Direct but rooted in compassion. Strategic but deeply personal.

Why It Matters

Jonathan often says: “We are the evidence the world has tried to forget.” His vision isn't just about storytelling — it’s about strategic narrative intervention. About equipping survivors and whistleblowers with a microphone, a camera, and a legal team when needed. About centering the unheard and making their truth undeniable.

If you're looking to invest in change, amplify truth, or dismantle the silences that uphold injustice, Jonathan invites you to partner — not just with him, but with a movement.
