Treasured Time Capsules We Don’t Have to Wait to Open

This is the link to our past that we need to move forward. I’m very impressed, intrigued and inspired by this series of storytelling that is primitive in its mechanics, yet innovative in its content and intentionality. Aside from being a HUGE Nicole Franklin fan, I would love this podcast even if her glorious name wasn’t attached to it.

Seriously, great work. Please make more.

Amazing!

Thank you for this. It is incredible to hear the experiences of our elders from their own perspectives. This is information that needs to be shared with the masses so we can highlight our stories and our history. Can’t wait to see Ms. Carroll’s story on the big screen!
