Everybody has stories to tell, and here is a chance to tell yours. In connection with the ongoing Black Joy Project at the Spurlock, the museum invites members of the community to share memories, legendary tales from family or friend groups, important moments…anything you wish to share or think others might like to hear.
No age restrictions! Have you ever heard a 4-year-old tell a story? It’s fantastic!
Can I attend if I’m not Black? Of course! However, they especially encourage women and girls from our Black and African American communities to attend and share at this event, as the Black Joy Project is a space dedicated to the celebration of their voices. They encourage other attendees to mindfully engage by listening and celebrating together.
What happens at the Spurlock stays at the Spurlock: Your stories are yours, and they will not record or share them outside of this event.
