This is a 2-part event. The storytelling workshop will be held from Noon to 1:30 p.m. and a storytelling program will follow at 2:00 - 2:45 p.m.
Masankho K. Banda learned the fine arts of storytelling and dance from his elders. In their company, he spent many long days and nights listening to stories and dancing to music that captivated his mind, nourished his soul, and strengthened his spirit. Masankho works tirelessly to establish a worldwide legacy of peace messengers. The people he meets, teaches and performs for learn the power of choosing peace over conflict and are forever touched.
This performance is part of the National Association of Black Storytellers' Adopt-A-Teller Community Outreach Program (AATP).
