Melanin Stories Matter | Inaugural Storytelling Event

The ConceptMelanin Stories Matter, produced byStory Fruition: This storytelling program showcases the impact of racism on the everyday life of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) through individual stories.Told from a variety of perspectives, guest storytellers provide a glimpse into some of the moments, big and small, that have shaped their lives. Through these rich and engaging stories, Melanin Stories Matter aims to raise awareness about conscious changes we can make to be more inclusive and actively antiracist.WhyThe current crisis of police brutality and racist attacks on blacks and people of color have sparked outrage across the US and throughout the world. The racial justice and anti-police violence activism so prominent over the last few months is not new, but it is louder and more insistent on change. Storytelling provides an outlet for true, lived BIPOC experiences, and it can also calm and heal. These stories matter.Our MissionOur mission is to elevate BIPOC voices and magnify their stories and lived experiences and inspire conscious effort by listeners to be educated, actively antiracist allies.*We don't really like the oversimplified catch-all of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, but the more we tried to include all ethnicities and identities, the more we felt like we were simply creating a laundry list and losing the big picture. So, to be clear: Melanin Stories Matter is a platform for ALL people of color who experience racism or colorism as a result of colonialism.
