Episode Description:

In honor of African American history, this short spoken-word reflection explores storytelling as survival, preservation, and truth. Long before records, protection, or ownership, stories carried names, lessons, and hope. Told through words, songs, dances, and rhythm, storytelling remains a way to remember who we are and where we come from.

This episode honors African American storytelling while recognizing storytelling as a shared human tradition across cultures and generations.
