Tell Me A Story


LEARN MORE

How many times did we, as children, ask this of our loved ones? As adults, how often did we hear this from the children in our lives? Storytelling is for everyone.

Stories are gateways to our shared human experience. They seed empathy and compassion, broaden our perspectives allowing us to see and feel outside and beyond our individual lived experiences. Simply put, they allow us to grow and love in ways we may never have imagined. Stories expand perspectives and challenge assumptions, generalizations, and stereotypes, helping to reinforce the powerful living bonds between us.

Using story as a tool to build literacy, strengthen communities and nurture the human spirit

MEETING THE MOMENT

The combined challenges of COVID-19 and racial unrest have shaken confidence, dismantled norms, and stressed resources. With support from our donors, Storytelling Arts is actively working to meet the moment of these extraordinary times by adapting the way we provide our educational programs and expanding our role as a gathering place for a multitude of powerful personal stories that are all around us. As we continue to serve schools and community organizations, we invite story friends, allies, collaborators, partners, and supporters to join us in celebrating the living art of storytelling. By listening to and learning from diverse voices, together we build understanding, illuminate new perspectives, and deepen connections with those around us.

              WHAT IS STORYTELLING


              Storytelling is an improvisational spoken word art form. Like jazz and hip hop, storytelling relies on rhythmic and narrative techniques to produce an emotional connection.

              FEATURED STORYTELLER: Nancy Mendez-Booth


              How does one Puerto Rican woman rise from the projects to the Pulitzer? World-class athletes use visualization to see themselves endure the miles and break through the finish line tape. I tell stories. I’m in the latest chapter of the story that began five decades ago in public housing.
