About this Event
Seven storytellers of various ethnic and cultural origins will share their stories that celebrate our humanity at a time when it's being challenged.
- Laura Simms, weaving her personal story with an ancient Jewish folktale.
- Johnny Moses, bringing humor looking back at the challenges he faced as a Tulalip Native American.
- Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo, who starts his story with his grandfather apologizing to his 8 children the night before being shipped off to the internment camps.
- Olga Loya, a story of resilience and resistance to claim who she is.
- Asma Ghanem, a Palestinian refugee and how art saved her life.
- Archy Jamjun, who finds it's ok to be LGBTQ+, but experiences racism in his own family?
- Tureeda Mikell, fiery African American poetess will have you at the edge of your seat shouting!
Nancy Wang is going to bring fire and wisdom as the Emcee!
