A  NEW ANNUAL HOLIDAY 

Have you ever gathered your people to share stories about who you are and where you come from?

Imagine what you might discover?

Black Storytelling Week is a new annual holiday calling on Black families worldwide - whether adopted, biological, or chosen - to devote one week each year to sharing their family history with one another.

FOR ALL BLACK FAMILIES

This holiday is for us. Those of us who identify as Black, African, Afro-Anything.

This holiday is for Black people, and those who raise, love on, nurture, and care for us. It’s as simple as that.

 

Whether you are adopted, or your family is biological, or chosen, this holiday honors and celebrates the many ways we make family and are family.

 

Whoever you consider loved ones is who you are meant to celebrate this holiday with.
