About What’s Your Story?

What's Your Story? is a storygathering project based on a fundamental truth: when people feel listened to—that their ideas and stories matter not just to them, but to the whole community—big things can happen. What's Your Story? is a community-building project that records, transcribes, and publishes stories from every part of our community in the Alleghany Highlands. By listening to what people remember about their pasts, we can draw a clearer picture of how to go forward.

What's Your Story? is an outreach project that works on the understanding that storytelling is the single most powerful tool we have to communicate our thoughts, passions, fears, and dreams. Character. Plot. Setting. Point of view. Stories are much the same as they are different—just like the people who tell them.

To date, the What's Your Story? project has published four volumes:
