NEW TRADITIONS FOR PRESERVING BLACK STORIES
Black Storytelling Week is being developed by a coalition of Black storytellers, community builders, creatives and healers. Working with an abundance mindset and collectivist principles, we are building this for the African diaspora, its people, and many cultures.
ABOUT BLACK STORYTELLING WEEK
WHO WE ARE
In the mosaic of time, we represent the next generation of culture keepers. We are a collective of community builders, storytellers, creatives, and healers. As culture shifters and futurists, we preserve the sanctity of Black storytelling.
What we do
We unearth the deep wells of oral tradition as a conduit to our ancestral wisdom. By conceiving fresh rituals and traditions, we kindle intergenerational healing and connections.
Why we do it
Our love for Black people is boundless; our desire - a world where every Black soul knows freedom. We construct pathways, knitting together hearts from all corners of the diaspora. We affirm the vast tapestry of Black life, identities, abilities, and families. We all belong.
How we do it
Our strength lies in community: we embody the harmony that once defined our existence. Shunning solitary ownership, we celebrate shared stewardship. We operate with mindful intent, attuned to our wellness, trust, and inherent capacities. We don’t claim mastery, but rather curiosity and collaboration.
