Storytelling is a product of culture and a creator of culture. Stories open the door for both connection and to a place of understanding. In essence, stories keep cultures alive. Stories provide a timeless link to ancient traditions, myths, legends, and archetypes. But they also connect to universal truths about ourselves and our world.

Part of the MAC’s Black History Month Presentation series.
