“The Log Echo of A Moment”

The Ubuntu Storytellers, an ensemble of oral story artists from across the Diaspora, are joined by guests who will tell personal stories of allyship. Contemporary stories of needing an ally, of being an ally and of the second guessing that sometimes comes after. Stories of being imperfect, unsure. Stories of being heard by the right someone at the right time. We tell these stories to celebrate when we step up and step in, as well as to acknowledge that sometimes it can be difficult to show up, speak up. Mostly we tell so we can feel together the impact of “the long echo of a moment.” Sponsored by the New Alliance Foundation in New Haven, CT. This is a hybrid program; patrons have the option of attending in-person at the library or virtually on Zoom. Registration is required – please sign up.  Tellers include: Tennette Correia, Jezrie Marcano Courtney, Thea Iberell, Ph.D.; Wendy Marans, Cindy Rivka Marshall, Denise Manning Keyes Page & Rebecca Wright. Show times are ET. On line and in person
