✨ Calling all Nashville-based storytellers and story lovers! ✨ We're so excited to share that Hello Sunshine Collective member Ali Truwit's documentary, "Stronger Than You Think," is premiering at the Nashville Film Festival this Sunday, September 21 🎉 The documentary, helmed by filmmakers Janice Molinari, Melissa Forman, Allyson J. Davis, and Impakt Partners, follows Ali's journey from losing part of her leg in a shark attack to earning two silver medals at the Paris Paralympics just one year later. You'll watch as Ali and her community of steadfast supporters turn trauma into hope — and discover "what’s possible when resilience meets purpose." "As Ali said to us on many occasions, if this film is going to make an impact, we must be willing to show everything along the way; not just the shiny, social media worthy moments, but the solitary moments of sorrow, pain and uncertainty," says director Janice Molinari. "This film not only documents that journey but hopefully makes you, as the viewer, understand that we are all Stronger Than You Think."

We’re honored that the film we produced, Stronger Than You Think, will world premiere at the Nashville Film Festival 🎬✨ Women’s sports deserve more than headlines — they deserve stories. By changing the narrative and shining a light on these journeys, we’re not just telling sports stories, we’re telling human stories that inspire. Thank you to Ali Truwit for trusting us with her story and showing us all we are stronger than we think. It was a dream team with the incredible talents of Melissa Forman and Janice Molinari. #womenssports #storytelling https://lnkd.in/gTXta2DA

This quote sums it up: "Media gatekeepers are the arbiters of who and what gets airtime." Chapeau 🎩 Sarah Spain and her iHeartRadio podcast Good Game. Smart, fresh, and highly entertaining. The recent episode featuring Jane McManus, author of Fast Track: Inside the Surging Business of Women’s Sports (link to buy the book in podcast notes), underscores the important work many of us are doing to ensure women's sports reaches the heights we all know is possible . So much of what we’re building in sports media comes back to this: who decides what stories matter? Who opens the door—or keeps it closed? This episode reminds us that true progress isn't just about getting more coverage; it’s about doing things differently. Highly recommend both the listen and the book! https://lnkd.in/gqNreRBh #GoodGame #WomensSports #SportsMedia #RepresentationMatters

The opportunity isn’t just scaling what’s been done before - it’s innovating. Deloitte predicts global revenue for women’s sports will cross the $2B threshold in 2025, a 240% increase in just two years. This is largely thanks to commercial revenue, which is set to top $1.26B after a rise in engagement, brand recognition, and sponsorships. Women’s Sports are an unparalleled, transformative, high-growth opportunity. For too long, women’s sports stories have been treated as add-ons or special interest features. That’s not how fandom is built. We need year-round narratives, premium storytelling, and content that meets audiences where they are and makes the emotional connection. At Impakt Partners, we’ve had a front row seat to the sports media industry, we know what works, what doesn’t work, and the numerous nuances that takes to navigate a powerful path forward creating, distributing and marketing original original  women’s sports content in a way that prioritizes connection, culture, and community—that supports ROI and ROO for all key stakeholders.

“If you asked me where I thought I’d be after the attack, I’d tell you on the couch.” Just months after Melissa Forman and I, together with our Impakt Partners team, wrapped production on Stronger Than You Think, documenting Ali Truwit's incredible year, her mission and purpose are coming together in impactful ways. Ali’s story is one of resilience—overcoming unimaginable challenges and becoming a powerful advocate for water safety, access to prosthetics, and the Paralympic movement. Ali’s foundation, Stronger Than You Think supports these causes. See the heart-warming post below from the Foundation's first ever gift of a prosthetic leg to Talia, a 6-year-old girl. The documentary isn’t the end of Ali’s story, however. She continues to inspire and to help people realize that they are stronger than they think.
