storytelling

Highlighting Black talent is the central mission of the second annual We Black Folk Fest at Club Passim in Cambridge, a two-day festival in February honoring the West African griot tradition through concerts and artist talks.

On Saturday, Jan. 14 at 6:30 p.m., Hibernian Hall in Nubian Square will come alive with the age-old sound of storytelling. “Roxbury Roots II: You Don’t Know My Story,” is the second of these live storytelling events, designed to bring the community together and foster connectivity.

Communities in Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan will have the chance to share neighborhood stories and personal experiences with a national audience this fall, following the launch of the Community Podcast Lab in Allston.
