What lessons have tattooed themselves on your heart? Whose features did you receive? What recipes have you been entrusted to keep? What prayers were you taught? What land has your name on it? To celebrate Black Storytelling Week 2026, join us for a virtual storytelling circle about the lessons, recipes, artifacts, gifts, blessings, cycles, habits, features, land, and more that have passed between generations. Together, we'll reflect, celebrate and release things we've inherited, and dream about we'd like to pass on.

Think of this storytelling circle as a virtual campfire: an intimate, participatory and gentle space to share and express memories while being held in community. We ask that everyone come prepared to share. There is no criteria for who or what your story can be about, but we do ask you be considerate when it comes to disturbing or graphic content.

Things to know:

Get cozy! Maybe light a candle, prepare your favorite snack, or make a cup of tea
Show and tell is welcome. Bring an artifact to show to the group if you have one.
Everyone has a role. This is not a stage, but a circle. While listening, we ask folks to show their support by being as present as possible.
