Sovereign is a platform for storytellers—artists and entrepreneurs—to be able to openly share a diverse range of ideas.

Few other types of people have the power to shape civilization than storytellers.

At a time when there seems to be no end to societal tensions around the world, almost everything is becoming politicized, and "censorship" and "cancel culture" have become buzzwords, we need more storytellers to rise and level a playing field that seems to be leaning one way over all others.

The world needs more stories. We're here not only to tell them, but also to get them told.
