Come share your story! Brightness in Black (BIB) collaborates with communities to collect and share joyous, ambitious and cultural stories, while countering harmful narratives about the Black experience in America.
At StoryCorps, we believe in the power of asset-framing - an approach that defines people by their aspirations and contributions before noting their challenges. As you prepare for your interview, we invite you to think about your story through this lens. What are your dreams? What unique talents do you bring to your community? What makes you proud? By sharing these aspects of yourself, you're not just telling your story - you're helping to create a richer, more nuanced narrative about the Black experience in America. Your voice matters, and we're excited to help amplify the brightness in your story.
Interviews are typically conducted as conversations between two people who know each other, although solo interviews can be accommodated. Before making your appointment, please have your interview partner's name, address and contact information available. If there are no available appointments, add yourself to our waitlist, or check back often.
