March 2025 Wellness Resources
Many of us have experienced the remarkable impact of storytelling in our own lives. Whether it happens through literature, theater, or good old-fashioned conversation, resonant and reflective storytelling can unlock and unleash untapped power and potential. At its best, it can also cause a ripple effect. Those of us who’ve had the lived experience of hearing another’s story are often more likely to pay it forward. We let our voices be heard, trusting that it’s not only in service of our own healing, but also of benefit to the greater good.
Now a decade into our work, we continue to witness and marvel at the breadth and depth of the impact storytelling creates. The saying, “If you can see it, you can be it,” is popular for a reason. Reflection and representation are so crucial, which is why we’re committed to hearing and sharing more Black women’s stories. This month’s Wellness Resources—including our insightful podcast episode with Charmaine Mercer, “Pay It Forward,” will help you connect to the power of storytelling.
RESOURCES FOR THRIVING
REFLECTION QUESTIONs:
• Think of a story that’s had a profound impact on you. Why was that particular story so impactful? What did it teach you about the power of storytelling?
• What story or stories might you be able to share in service of someone else’s healing?
• If you don’t already have a consistent practice for reflecting on your own stories, what practice can you implement moving forward?
