The power of storytelling is clear. It can transport us to different places and times, introduce us to cultures that are not our own, and bring us together for connection and learning. We will have two shows during these cold winter months, our storytelling season. Today, we have Aunties Lisa and Nancy in the studio, and they are joined by a friend and colleague, Auntie Becky Bailey. The three Aunties will lean into the power of storytelling, sharing stories, music and love. Please join us for this heart-filling episode that kicks off our month of storytelling.
