This showcase for adults features personal stories told by black and brown tellers. Stories that reflect the joys, triumphs and disappointments, as well as stories about racism, micro aggression. Their stories span from victim to saint and fill in the spaces in between. Listeners are struck by what they heard as well as by what they didn’t hear, maybe expected to hear. The stories allow for listeners of any background to find a space where they connect, go along for the ride and at the end discover there might be a slight change in perspective. The stories are selected to take the all too often “museum gazing” awareness of life as Person of Color and cross the bridge to shared humanity.
