Storytelling is an ancient form of art and an essential form of human expression. Storytelling is how we give context to our lives and share our unique experience. Providing space for people to share while thoughtfully listening is a fundamental part in all social justice work. Uplifting voices of those who may not have a platform is an incredible act of service and one that can be done anywhere.
