Share Your Story
Your story matters. Your experiences and feelings are valid and powerful. By sharing your story, you are helping to amplify our voices and create a more influential and undeniable call to action.
Your Story Matters Because:
- The more stories we hear, the more we start to understand the scope of the cultural impact.
- Someone has a story just like yours and does not know that they are not alone.
- There is healing in sharing.
- We can paint a more accurate picture that allows us all to take action.
- Most people do not intend to cause harm, help us all know what is harmful so we can make changes as an industry.
How It Works:
- Tell us your experience, both good and bad. We want to collect it all.
- IE will ask for your contact information if verification is ever needed. You will also have the option to publicize your story.
- Your story will be stored in IE's secure database and used anonymously for data collection and research purposes.
- If you opt to publicize your story, it will be anonymously shared on insureequality.org, IE's social media platforms, marketing collateral, and any other medias deemed appropriate.
- If you at anytime want to remove your story from public view, please contact story@insureequality.org and we will do our best to accommodate (if a printed material has been distributed we will remove the story in all future releases as an example).

...The case was dropped and he was promoted. I knew I was not the only one he did this to, but no one else came forward...
...The HR person was absolutely wonderful. She reassured me that she has heard it all before, and that I should not be embarrassed...
...They employed various "bullying" techniques to get me to quit to avoid paying out a severance package...
...HR advised my only option was to confront him and tell him his actions were not reciprocated and to not speak to me that way again. He told me I overreacted and it was a joke but he wouldn’t say anything like that again...
...I kept thinking to myself, what am I doing wrong? Why does this keep happening? I need to change how I come across or how I behave in order for this to stop...
