Who Tells the Story

Because it MATTERS

Our Stories

Stories. They connect us. They challenge us. They ignite us. At Who Tells the Story…Because it Matters we believe true social change lies in heart-centered storytelling, in hearing others’ stories and sharing our own, and in knowing the voice behind the story makes all the difference in the message. Norma Johnson, poet and racial justice educator, and Amanda Cherry, 6th grade language arts teacher, combine their passions in a partnership that provides social-justice based facilitations for audiences of all ages. Come for the magic!
