Welcome!
Little Mountains empowers people to reshape the world through thoughtful storytelling.
We believe that the stories we tell, whether in books, on billboards, or around a bonfire, matter and shape society.
We believe that for individuals, there is no greater agony than bearing the unsaid inside you. We also believe that for society, stories are the communal currency of our humanity. And miscommunication? Well, it’s the main source of our collective problems. (Maya Angelou, Tahir Shah and Earl Sweatshirt agree. That’s why they said all that first).
We’re for people finding the clarity and courage to share their true stories, questions, and fascinations.
A Bit About Me.
My name is Matisse, I am a mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend, writer, entrepreneur, and lover of life. In no particular order.
I was raised on a beach in Fiji and have spent most of my days telling stories in some form or another. I have also spent a lot of time trying to understand and contribute to solving some of the world’s biggest problems. From working at NGOs committed to tackling the climate crisis, to a diplomatic agency tasked with fixing economic inequities.
I came to realise when I do the first (with my whole heart, filled with childlike curiosity and wonder) I am much better at the second.
I believe that peace is created piece by piece, conversation by conversation. Xx
