Gage Evans- Inheritance

Описание: Gage Evans tells her story "Inheritance" at the April 2021 edition of Boulder's Story Slam in partnership with The Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, CO. This was a special edition of our Story Slam called: We the People: True Stories About Race. It was a night of true stories centered around the theme of RACE, told from the heart, and from living rooms across the country.

This month storytellers were selected in advance and participated in an 8-week workshop in which they dug for and developed personal narrative stories based on the theme of race, through the lens of anti-racism work.

The workshop was co-led by Johanna Walker, speaker, trainer and host of Boulder’s Story Slam, and Darryl Piggott, LA based educator. It was a mixed race group with people from all over the US spanning 6 decades and including people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 70’s.

As part of this event, we raised $4000 to support Chinook Fund. Chinook Fund supports grassroots organizations working on issues of social and economic justice by pooling collective resources to seed groups making a positive, systemic impact to improve the quality of life for all Coloradans. We were honored to support this organization that is doing such important work.
