GREETINGS… My name is Gwendolyn J. Napier and I am a Kuumba Storyteller, I have been working with the organization on the BrimeStone Project. We started out on a journey with a Community of Wonderful Friends, The Clarkston Community and the Sudanese FRIENDS have grown from March 2013 until now April 2014. The art of storytelling is the same all over the world, and it was proven to be true as we heard stories from the children, “their childhood stories” as they remember. Most of the stories that I heard from them, I recall hearing some of the same stories from my MAMA. These stories have been passed down from Generations to Generations. The milestone are coming together. They are telling their own stories, and we are listening…the stories remind me of my childhood days. We have six storytellers working with the project. Our Sudanese friends are so talented and without hesitation will do anything to assist you. I HAVE MET SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON THE STORYTELLING ROAD either telling, acting, singers, you name it. Most of the instruments and other items were shared by both groups. We have grown together in such a short time.
KUUMBA IS ALWAYS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.
