Esther’s response to the profound loss of her home and family was to stitch her story. Story cloths have, and continue to be used as a way to speak of difficult or painful experiences. The act of creating these story cloths can serve to heal, giving voice to people who have yet to tell their own stories. Even more, sharing these story cloths with others can help to find the common humanity that can bridge divides within and among communities.
Community conversations can provide a pathway to greater understanding of the lives of its members as well as the forces that affect the quality of life within communities.
These conversations can take the form of small-group discussions as well as panel discussions with members of the community who can share unique perspectives.
