Joan Kenerson King Storytelling

When I visited a woman in Swaziland who was dying of AIDS in the most horrific of situations, she and her friends wanted me to take pictures.  It felt wrong to me . . . voyeuristic . . . but the mages (the mothers) said “Please, this is how you bear witness to our experiences.” 

This is what we do when we tell stories, when we listen to stories, when we examine our own lives in the presence of another, and when we work at changing what we have the opportunity to change — we are bearing witness to what is not yet, but can be.

Stories are and have always been the drivers of change, fueling transformation on multiple levels by:

• healing both the teller and the listener
• breaking down barriers between people
• increasing our understanding across all types of apparent differences
• facilitating re-connection

I offer two storytelling-focused services:
