Recently, a middle school student asked if I was born in 1891. For a moment, he believed he had truly met Zora Neale Hurston. That's the transformative power of youth empowerment through storytelling, when young people see themselves in the stories of those who overcame impossible odds, they begin to believe their own story matters too. Here's why sponsoring just one student to experience living history could change everything.

Celebrate Zora Neale Hurston legacy: Reflections on her grave, restoring her home, acceptance practices, and free events for peace and resilience. Join the journey thru gratitude and healing.
