About

Everyday conversations,
from everyday people.

Current MFH Creator Fellow

Alexia Jones, founder of Soft Spoken Convos

Soft Spoken Convos exists to create safe, welcoming spaces for honest conversations about the experiences, challenges, and realities that often go unheard.

Rooted in Southeast Missouri, we amplify everyday voices, explore the topics people don't always feel comfortable discussing, and create opportunities for people to feel seen, heard, understood, and represented.

From mental health and identity to relationships, financial wellness, small town life, and access to opportunity, Soft Spoken Convos believes every person has a story worth hearing.

"In Missouri, especially rural Missouri, access is often the obstacle more than absence."

We exist to close that distance. Between what's already here and the people who need it. Between what people feel and what they can say out loud.

Our goal isn't simply to give people a microphone. It's to create space for understanding, connection, and meaningful conversations that bring people closer together and help our communities grow.

Founder Alexia Jones is from Charleston, Missouri, and has lived and worked across Southeast Missouri her whole life. That lived experience shapes every piece of this work, from the tools and the tone to the audience and the purpose.

Alexia is a current Missouri Foundation for Health Creator Fellow, one of eight creators selected from nearly 200 applicants for the foundation's inaugural class. The fellowship is a paid partnership that supports her work bringing honest conversations about health and wellbeing to Southeast Missouri. Read the announcement
