About Your Voices:
KIRO 7 is partnering with T-Mobile on Your Voices - a celebration of all the local races and cultures that make up Western Washington. Look for new celebrations each month, and if there’s a person, organization, or month you’d like to see featured, please email us at yourvoices@kiro7.com.
KIRO 7 and T-Mobile have joined forces to celebrate Your Voices every day
T-Mobile continues to invest in diversity, equity, and inclusion, believing we are “Unstoppable Together” both within the company and out in the community. Since the launch of Your Voices in January, KIRO 7 has aired Your Voices stories every week, as well as quarterly half-hour specials. These programs also shine a light on the powerful impact of our diverse community on Western Washington.
Join KIRO 7 and T-Mobile as we highlight and honor the differences that make us great. Explore the stories and resources below. Then, get inspired and get involved by volunteering or supporting minority-owned businesses in our area or by submitting a Your Voices story for possible news coverage.

Western Washington Gets Real
Western Washington Gets Real is KIRO7’s commitment to having difficult conversations about race and equality. We will dig deep into important issues; from housing, healthcare and education to policing, immigration, and voting. Beyond just highlighting where or how racism exists, Western Washington Gets Real is a chance to learn from each other, to celebrate our differences, and create greater understanding. We’re committed to covering stories that matter to all members of our community, and to amplifying often marginalized voices. Everyone deserves to be heard. Visit the Western Washington Gets Real Page to see more stories about these important issues, as well as Your Voices stories celebrating the different races and cultures that make up our community. On that page, you will also find additional resources and information.
