Artivist Mobilizing: The Art of Storytelling provides an artistic platform for folks to

use their stories as a lens to humanize their experience. Storytelling allows for an

amalgamation of art, organizing, and facilitation, that gives folks various access points

and tools to take personal and political steps towards abolition. Storytelling centers and

elevates the voices of marginalized communities as a primary method of liberation,

evoking self-reflection and exploration, and connecting the observers and

participants directly to the experiences of others while using art as a platform to

instigate systemic change.    Today you will hear a Regina Pearson's story.
