Community medicine
October 8, 2020
Hosts: Duncan Ebata, Fahima Gibrel. Guests: Elder Albert Marshall, Coco Love Alcorn.
In these times of ongoing uncertainty, how do we keep our spirits lifted, our hearts and resilience intact? How do we stay grounded, engaged and inspired, and still reach out to others needing a boost? What can we learn collectively about how to live in these times?
As we came back together for the fall season of The Narrative Project, we explored these questions as a community, reflecting on stories from our guest and each other.
Stories
After weaving her story, song and magic into the first season of the Narrative Project, Coco Love Alcorn joined us once again. She sang the Water Song and improvised with our words from the chat stream. Watch this clip.
