The folks at Black Storytelling Week are absolutely my tribe, and I’m thrilled to signal-boost this upcoming event. If you’re in or around Brooklyn, fall through!

While world tells us to forget, to move on, to leave behind what came before, we know better.

We know that our stories are maps through our past blueprints for our future.

We know that our history is a well of knowledge and power.

We know that our ability to thrive is tied to our ability to remember.

We know that we must go back and go fetch it.

Get ready to celebrate with your loved ones, and join us for our first ever community celebrations!
