ivory (slide 1)⁠⁠
singer, actor, model, dancer, firebreather, and body positive advocate. a q***r, plus size, woman of colour, she's not just a bombshell - she's the whole damn arsenal.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“as a performer, i believe that telling stories is woven into the very fabric of my character. chronicling my lived experience and my journey as a q***r, plus sized, disabled woman of colour gives me agency to tell the world i lived, i loved, i mattered and i was here.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
katelyn doyle (slide 2)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“it’s simple: i like it. reading books, watching movies, gossiping at work. it’s all special; even the same story told twice. i like listening to the lives of others and i like that i can share mine. that’s the cool thing about storytelling, we are all capable of it.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
josie liechti and anne stoesser (slide 3)⁠⁠
- storytellers⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“storytelling connects us to the parts of ourselves we didn’t know needed to be expressed. annie and josie met on a french language exchange in trois-rivières, québec. we thought we had come to québec to improve our french language skills, but what we needed most was each other and the stories that came out from hiding over the course of that summer and the years to follow.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
deneh'cho thompson (slide 4)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“story is a huge part of my life, my identity is constructed around a series of stories told to me and by me. i believe that the stories we tell come into existence, if only for the moment that they are spoken, and that we storytellers have a responsibility to both the stories and to the world that we speak our stories into.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
trophy (slide 4)⁠⁠
storytellers⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“how do we instigate meaningful change in our lives and world? in remixed, personal stories and reflections shared by community members place us in the wake of our community’s experiences of transformation. listening in, we weave into each other, disrupting dominant narratives, multiplying, and reimagining beyond the confines of what is as we begin to articulate new stories together.”

lili robinson (slide 1)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“i’ve been obsessed with storytelling since i was a kid, and was fortunate enough to have that obsession nurtured rather than stifled. storytelling is how i make sense of and engage with the collective. through storytelling i work to be a channel for ancestral guidance towards a future free from oppression.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
roula said (slide 2)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“i experience storytelling as medicine. unfolding and honouring my own story has allowed me to come into the home of my own body at ever deepening levels. sharing autobiographical elements in the context of cross-cultural story circles has grown my capacity to listen to and connect with my fellow humans.“⁠⁠

napatsi folger (slide 3)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“inuit have traditionally been an oral storytelling culture. so i grew up around many storytellers, including my american father, who was a filmmaker and writer. to me, storytelling is like water and air. it's the stuff between things connecting us together allowing us to thrive, and to learn from our mistakes.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
marcel stewart (slide 4)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“i am including an expressive photo. it's not of me but represents the collective tapestry of artists who collaborated with me on developing freedom.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“my relationship with storytelling is deep and ancestral. i grew up around storytellers in my family, and now i tell stories for a living.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
roberta mcdonald (slide 5)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“stories are how i process the world. they're an invitation into my inner life and an opportunity to question assumptions and build connections with folks that have vastly different experiences and world views. they offer a bridge across differences, build community, and spark fresh understandings. stories are magic.“ ⁠⁠

kai potts (slide 1)
storyteller

"I was always told that who we are, what we are, is nothing more than a collection of stories, told by us through our actions and our experiences. My people were natural storytellers, they were expressive and genuine. I know that my relationship to storytelling is one that transcends time."

jonathan shaboo (slide 2)
storyteller

“there’s a special place in my heart for the late night, front porch storytellers. those who spend their summer nights spinning tall tales, twisting truths, and blowing things way out of proportion. they might be my favorite people. i could live forever in those moments, between the dramatic pause and the laughter. that for me is heaven.”

jennah foster-catlack (slide 3)
storyteller

"my relationship to storytelling is ever evolving on a regular basis. i started with theatre and now i'm playing with an interface. it's a pretty wild ride fam. i found that i could string the lives of others together through the sound waves. and here i am. telling more tales."

haley vincent (slide 4)
storyteller

“storytelling has always been a way for me to build deep and meaningful relationships, facilitate important change and explore ideas that have the possibility to create close communities. it has served as a way of learning, expressing creativity, care and the values i hold. stories forge a connection, and everyone has one to share!”

kat estacio (slide 5)
storyteller

(spoken with co-creator elysse cloma) “to us, storytelling is a place for imagining alternative possibilities and futures, growing my capacity to stand in my truth, a tool for education and facilitating human connection, and a way of reaching mutual knowledge/understanding.”

elysse cloma (slide 6)
storyteller

(spoken with co-creator kat estacio) “to us, storytelling is a place for imagining alternative possibilities and futures, growing my capacity to stand in my truth, a tool for education and facilitating human connection, and a way of reaching mutual knowledge/understanding.”

shawn cuthandv (slide 1)
storyteller

“i am lucky enough to have an intergenerational connection to storytelling as my grandpa was an oral story teller and my dad is an accomplished writer. i have always loved telling stories and began to use stand up comedy as my outlet of expression.”

carmen braden (slide 2)
storyteller

"i'm a musician, but in almost all my musical creations i use words and context as part of the process, whether its instrumental music, songs, choir pieces, etc... there is always a story behind each piece of music. i love playing with the balance of text, sound, and surprise in my creations."

brendon allen (slide 3)
storyteller, parent of clover and august

&

“stories live in our household in different ways. […] i think our relationship to storytelling is so extensive. my son describes a flower bloom and dives into a universe of characters. my daughter weaves boundless empathy into her imaginary play. i think we use story to deepen our daily experiences. enrich them. it's not really escapism, it's magnifying our experiences.”

clover (slide 4)
storyteller

“we tell stories all the time when we are together, like making up plays. our nighttime storytime is an everynight thing, no matter what.”

august (slide 5)
storyteller

“i use stories to calm down at night. my papa and i read together every night and podcasts help me when i'm scared of the dark.”

alicia plummer (slide 1) ⁠⁠
storyteller ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“telling stories is always an adventure for me. my favourite forms of storytelling are song writing, poetry and playwriting! i love seeing people smile or burst out laughing by a story i'm telling. additionally, i aim to highlight black voices and create more stories for black artists. especially black women.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
deivan steele (slide 2)⁠⁠
storyteller⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“when i was a kid, inhabiting stories left me free to be someone else--someone stronger, funnier, smarter, more romantic. looking back, i think all those stories i told might’ve been about me, after all. but that’s why i do it: i show a bit of me, and with luck, you see a bit of you.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
danny knight (slide 3)⁠⁠
storyteller exploring music, acting, sound design, poetry and comedy⁠⁠

“i believe that sharing my experiences through different mediums is paramount to my artistic creativity, it challenges me, exploring different mediums of communications. im happy to use music as a way to share my thoughts on the canada's darkest histories.”⁠⁠

colin doyle and liza paul (slide 4&5)⁠⁠
storytellers⁠⁠
