The Story Behind the Story

In THIS IS MY STORY, a moving and inspiring video project recently released by Amphibian Stage, three prominent Fort Worth Black men share stories about a time they were silenced. In less than a month it has been viewed by over 12,000 viewers around the world, with requests pouring in to screen the video at schools, galleries, non-profits, and businesses. But the story of how this piece came together is just as fascinating as what we see on screen. In this episode I chat with creator Dev’n Goodman, storyteller Henry Wasonga Abuto, and director Kathleen Culebro about the events that led to the creation of the project and do a deep dive into the many questions and issues that the project brought up for each of us.
