A Vision for Authentic Storytelling – Celebrating W.E. & Company
As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor the Black entrepreneurs who are shaping and strengthening Central Pennsylvania’s communities. Today, we shine a light on Jordan and Shelby Wormley, the inspiring duo behind W.E. & Company—a storytelling platform based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. With a shared passion for media, communications, and photography, Jordan and Shelby are on a mission to elevate diverse voices and create a space where every story is told authentically and on its own terms.
More Than a Business—A Purpose
W.E. & Company was born from a love for storytelling. Shelby’s expertise behind the camera and Jordan’s background in media studies blended seamlessly into a venture that does more than capture images—it captures truth. Their company provides a safe and inclusive space for people to share their narratives, ensuring that stories reflect reality rather than being shaped by external perceptions. Whether working with individuals, businesses, or community groups, their approach is built on the belief that every voice deserves to be heard.
Bridging the Gap Between Stories and Representation
In an era where mainstream media often filters and edits narratives to fit certain agendas, W.E. & Company offers an alternative—one that empowers individuals to share their stories as they truly are. They recognize the void between community-driven stories and how they’re portrayed in traditional media. By removing the fear of “why me?” and replacing it with “why not?”, they encourage people to step forward, own their experiences, and connect with their communities on a deeper level.
Beyond the business, W.E. & Company embodies legacy and community. The name itself carries deep personal meaning—”W” for Wormley, representing Jordan’s family tree, and “E” for Elaine, Shelby’s middle name, shared with her grandmother. Their brand isn’t just about business; it’s about lineage, culture, and preserving stories for generations to come. By amplifying the voices of those who have historically been unheard, they are not only documenting history but actively shaping it.
Creating Change Through Storytelling
W.E. & Company’s impact is more than creative storytelling—it’s community-building. By fostering deeper human connections through honest storytelling, they are making Central Pennsylvania a place where everyone feels seen and valued.
