From “Drag Queen Story Hour” to Legislative testimonies, story time isn’t just for kids anymore. Each of us carries a story that speaks to our journey, beliefs, struggles, and triumphs. Sharing those experiences through the communal act of Storytelling is one of humanity’s oldest and most powerful ways of sharing wisdom, making connections, and speaking to truth through personal testimony. By telling our stories, we are continuing the sacred tradition.
