The Story of Elizabeth by Jeanell English

I was raised in a house full of women who dreamed out loud.

Women who walked with purpose, even when the path wasn’t clear. Who saw the world differently and insisted on making space where none was offered. From them, I learned that voice is power, that work is love made visible, and that failure—while familiar—was never final.

Throughout my professional journey, I have moved through rooms that weren’t built with me in mind. Rooms where my presence was questioned, my perspective overlooked, and my value underestimated. I also found ways to listen harder, speak clearer, and write myself in. I turned disappointment into direction. I led teams, shaped stories, and delivered bold outcomes—not by leaving myself behind, but by bringing others in.

In 2019, I stopped waiting for permission and answered the voice inside that whispered: “Build something new.” That voice became ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH is my great-grandmother. She is my middle name. She is every woman who ever said: Tell your story, and tell it well.

And so, I do. Through ELIZABETH, I work with artists, creators, and changemakers to amplify the voices often left out of the frame. We design strategies with soul. We create systems that work for people. We tell stories that make room—for truth, for nuance, for impact.

Our work is rooted in advocacy, in sustainability, in deep listening. We believe that when stories are told with intention and heard with care, they can shift culture, open doors, and reshape what’s possible.

Elizabeth was, is, and will always be a storyteller.
