Listen now:
What if the story you’ve been afraid to tell is the exact story someone else needs to hear?
New episode of Black Oxygen is live, and this conversation with Danielle Hairston-Green hit different.
Danielle is a Moth Story Slam winner, host, storyteller, and director at UW-Madison Extension. She came to Wisconsin from Philadelphia by way of Texas. Eight years later, she’s still here, and she has things to say.
We talked about community care, shame, healing, and what it means to stop being the subject of someone else’s narrative and become the author of your own.
Her mentor told her: tell your stories from your scars, not your wounds. This one will stay with you.
