Black Family Historians Convening - April 2025

We represent the next generation of culture keepers. We are community builders, storytellers, creatives, and healers. As culture shifters and futurists, we preserve the sanctity of Black storytelling. 

We unearth the deep wells of oral tradition and archive as a conduit to our ancestral wisdom. By conceiving fresh rituals and traditions, we kindle intergenerational healing and connections. 

If this speaks to you, join us Wednesday, April 30th for a convening of those discovering, keeping, and sharing Black family histories:

• April's theme: How to encourage elders to open up and navigate tender conversations.
• Connect with other family historians, from seasoned to aspiring
• Explore how to make history preservation and intergenerational storytelling a culture within our families

This convening is hosted by the organizers of Black Storytelling Week, a holiday uniting Black families (adopted, biological, and chosen) through intergenerational storytelling and oral tradition. Black Storytelling Week is the second week of September
