Welcome to One Brilliant Arc!

We are a story studio dedicated to helping lift up stories that inspire, connect, and create change from voices who have been silenced. Through our weekly written newsletter, podcasts, and personal training programs, we break down why you need to know how to use the power of storytelling to connect with people no matter where you want to make a positive impact. We help you find your voice and tell the story the world taught you not to.

Because your story matters.

We work with marginalized founders, movement builders, change-makers, and storytellers across all mediums to break the silence oppressive systems try to impose on them.

Join OBA Nation, a movement lifting up brave, authentic voices who are telling the stories that will transform us for the better.

Let us help you tell your story without fear and inspire without limits.

Meet the OBA Media Story Team

Jared Moses

Jared is the founder and driving force behind One Brilliant Arc — a filmmaker, writer, and visionary who built OBA to challenge the way stories are told and who gets to tell them. Think of him as our Nick Fury: the connector, strategist, and truth-teller who pulled this team together around a shared mission to reclaim narrative power for the silenced and use it to dismantle systems of oppression. His clarity of vision and commitment to liberation guide every decision we make.

Ceylan Gunduz

Ceylan is OBA’s newsletter editor-in-chief, social media manager, creative administrator, and “den mother.” She is usually the voice behind One Brilliant Arc on Substack Notes and comments.

Charles Rodriguez

Charles is OBA’s magical editor and storytelling connoisseur. His gift with words graces us with many of our most encouraging articles. His magical skills extend to film editing, making him an irreplaceable talent for our soon-to-be-launched video production arm.

Eric Nutting

Eric is OBA’s company advisor, HR administrator, and a personal godfather figure to all of us. His amazing wisdom and direction is like the wind in One Brilliant Arc’s sails.

We need kind humans like you to keep us going so we can continue to support and uplift silenced voices who have important stories to tell. If this mission resonates with you, buy One Brilliant Arc a coffee or share our newsletter with others to spread the movement!

OBA is the home for truth-tellers, cultural disruptors, and silenced voices ready to speak. Through bold essays, we help you find your voice, rewrite the stories that hurt you, and build narratives that fight back, personally, politically, and publicly.

People

Everyone has a story that matters. We're here to help you tell yours. Using case studies from pop culture media, we show you how to find your voice, craft powerful narratives, and never be afraid of the blank page again.
Black. Unsilenced. Founder of One Brilliant Arc and a narrative socialist. I write because silence is a system, and story is how we break it.
