This past October, YA storytelling and theater teaching artist TAHIRA was honored by the National Association of Black Storytellers at their annual festival! TAHIRA received the Mama Linda Goss Presidential Commendation nominated by Sister Doctor Caroliese Frink Reed, the official NABS Scholar, and selected by current NABS president Dr. David O. Fakunle. YA quilting and storytelling teaching artist Steven H. Hobbs was also honored at NABS as a new inductee to the Brother Blue Circle of Elders. Congratulations to both of these wonderful, influential artists!
