One of the major tenets I will always remember comes for Dawn. You are the one who cares. When you tell stories you let us understand who you are. When we tell stories we show who we are on the inside. We are actually telling the stories of us.
Stories are the metaphors of our lives.
At a time when youth don't spend enough time with elders, when hate crimes increase, when our world seems like it will collapse, it is a great comfort to know that we share the joy of telling stories together. Storytelling has opened up a whole new world where I can create my own stories and feel great when they touch someone's heart. And that is what is does, touches hearts. Imagine a world where we secure a place to tell our stories. If you are a grandmother, parent, teacher, storyteller, or librarians, consider building a youth storytelling club in your community.
