Excerpt of Maria Alejandro

We are an intergenerational project which seeks to connect our youngest and oldest generations through storytelling and podcast. Through hands on workshops we teach children audio skills to interview their own grandparents or elders in their community. The Grandparents StoryLab team then edits these interviews into sound rich  podcasts. We produced five episodes of our first season with Rev. Malika Lee Whitney,  from the Significant Elders Intergenerational Oral History Project as the associate producer.  These episodes were produced in collaboration with the SugarHill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling and IndyKids, a newspaper made by kids and for kids.
