The Stories of Black and Biracial Women: A Necessary Celebration

The Story Table, sponsored by the Clay Countians for Inclusion, gives a voice to those who have been marginalized and oppressed. It provides a platform for people to shape the narrative of their own history. This is especially important in a world where voices and stories of people of color have historically been excluded and unheard.

Storytelling thrived long before books and written language because of the power of oral tradition. The power of one’s personal story creates legacy.

Black and biracial women will be bearing witness through personal testimony of the barriers they have broken through and how they conquered hidden agendas that were designed to keep them from thriving.

“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.”

-Audre Lorde, professor, author and poet.

The upcoming event will be held Saturday, September 14th at Precious Blood Renewal Center, 2120 St Gaspar Way, Liberty, MO 64068. The Story Table starts at 4:00 PM and concludes at 6:30 PM.  The preregistration cost to attend is a minimum donation of $15.00. Advance registration is preferred as a light meal will be served.

All are welcome!
