Your story of home
deserves to be heard.

Who We Are

A Picture's Worth (APW) is a Cincinnati-based nonprofit organization dedicated to ethical, community-centered storytelling. Our work is guided by values of dignity, consent, and shared ownership of narrative.

What You're Agreeing To

By submitting your story, you are granting A Picture's Worth permission to use your audio recording, photograph, and identifying information (name, neighborhood) in connection with the Bethany House Services "What Does Home Look Like to You?" project.

Your story may be used in: public exhibitions or installations, digital publications (website, social media), educational materials, grant reports, and community events. APW will always credit you as you have requested.

What We Will Never Do

We will never sell your story or personal information to third parties. We will never use your story in a context that misrepresents your intent. We will never share your contact information (email, phone) publicly.

Your Rights

You retain ownership of your story. You may request removal from any or all uses at any time by contacting elissa@apicturesworth.org. Removal requests are honored within 30 days, except where materials have already been printed or installed.

How We Store Your Data

Your audio recording, photo, and contact information are stored securely. Only authorized APW staff and project partners have access to your submission. We follow best practices for data protection and will not retain your data longer than necessary for the project.

Trauma-Informed Approach

APW practices trauma-informed storytelling. You are never required to share more than you are comfortable with. You may stop your recording at any time. If you share something difficult, we may reach out to ensure you have access to support resources.
