Talk. Trust. Tell.
A children's play about courage, kindness, and the power of speaking up, for every child who has ever been afraid to tell their truth.
"Keeping quiet will not make it go away. Speak, and keep speaking."
Safe to Tell follows Priscilla, Karl, Chiamaka, and Abdul, four schoolchildren who find the courage to name what's happening to them and speak up together. Guided by Ms. Ajayi, their teacher, they discover that silence protects no one.
Written as a five-act play, the book is designed to be read aloud, performed in classrooms, and discussed in homes. Every scene is a conversation starter about safety, trust, and the right to be heard.
Children learn to name verbal, physical, and emotional harm, and understand that no form of abuse is okay, wherever it happens.
Through Priscilla and Karl's journeys, the book shows that asking for help is an act of bravery, not weakness.
Teachers, counselors, and trusted adults are shown as real, warm allies, giving children a roadmap for who to turn to.

Coming to a School Near You
We are working on bringing Safe to Tell directly into schools, workshops, performances, and safeguarding resources for children and educators alike. Watch this space.
If you are being hurt, if someone has crossed a line, touched you wrongly, or made you feel unsafe, speak. Even if your voice trembles. Even if it's hard to find the words.
There are people who will believe you. Who will protect you. Who will fight for you.
Tell a teacher. A counselor. A neighbor. Someone kind. Someone safe. You don't have to carry this alone.
You are not a problem. You are not dirty. You are not broken. You are a child. You are a light. You are worthy of safety, of joy, of love.
