The Tell: A Memoir

Amy Griffin’s memoir reveals that trauma does not disappear simply because it goes unremembered. The body holds what the mind cannot yet face. Healing is not about erasing the past but about learning to carry it differently—with honesty, compassion, and agency.

Her journey shows that recovery is rarely linear. It involves grief, doubt, anger, and courage repeated again and again. Speaking the truth, even when justice is incomplete, can restore dignity. Trusting oneself—after years of silence—is both the hardest and most transformative work a survivor can do.

Ultimately, The Tell is not just about remembering abuse. It is about reclaiming ownership of one’s story. Amy Griffin demonstrates that healing is not found in perfection or control, but in vulnerability, connection, and the quiet decision to believe oneself.

Amy Griffin is the founder of G9 Ventures, an investment firm that supports early-stage, women-led companies. Her work has helped launch and grow prominent brands across wellness, media, and technology.

The Tell was published in 2025 and received widespread acclaim, including selection for Oprah’s Book Club and recognition on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people of the year.

Through her memoir, Griffin combines personal storytelling with cultural reflection, offering insight into trauma, memory, gender expectations, and the long road toward self-trust and healing.
