Go Tell It! is a project for Black storytellers. The ones always reciting family history at the holidays, and the ones dreaming of new futures. The ones trying to catch an ear at the bus stop and the ones trying to catch their breath. For stories true, false, fantastic and fragile.

This is a project rooted in the practice of Black cultural preservation through oral histories. Created to amplify Black storytellers across mediums who have one thing in common: a captivating story to tell. Be it a folk-tale, song or dance. A short-film, or photograph. There is a story within to be told and shared. That is needed because Black stories, our stories, the ones no one else can tell are so needed.

This project ran throughout 2022 thanks to funding from the California Arts Council. It was created and led by Staff Artist Reneice Charles, and developed in conjunction with Lunise Cerin.  Watch all 12 stories above, on our YouTube channel, or on Instagram.
