Hone your authentic voice through storytelling

Yeah, it’s a lot easier said than done. What if you struggle to find the confidence?

 

That’s where we got you.

 

Our Storytelling Circle is a small group experience inspired by the coaching that goes into every You Had Me at Black episode. Over the course of five weeks, you will develop, perform and record a true-life story, honing your authentic voice and self-expression along the way.

 

At the end, you’ll leave with a recording of your story as a personal keepsake, and storytelling skills you can take anywhere.

We launched in 2016 as a groundbreaking podcast and live story hour with the mission to reclaim the Black narrative and inspire people to embrace their unique stories. Our award-winning series has reimagined the art of oral tradition and pioneered a fresh format for the podcast industry.

 

Most importantly, we established a new standard for Black storytelling by prioritizing care, nuance, authenticity, honesty, and expansiveness. Today, we are building a community-stewarded home for Black stories and storytelling across experiences, media, and publishing.
