D. Vance\u2019s <em>Hillbilly Elegy<\/em>. Willis\u2019 book describes growing up on a farm in 1950s Canton. \u201cMy goal is for readers to have an appreciation of the resilience, self-reliance and indomitable spirit of the Appalachian people,\u201d he says. \u201cAlso, I want the readers to recognize that people in Appalachia are not lazy, backward and unsophisticated folk. They are not Snuffy Smith. They care for their neighbors, exhibit a clear sense of community and have a strong work ethic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ndiaye Robinson, a native of Asheville\u2019s Southside neighborhood and creator of the story-gathering website <a href=\"http:\/\/UrbanRenewalImpact.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UrbanRenewalImpact.org<\/a>, will present her 2007 memoir about difficult years as a single mother to two children. \u201cI was inspired to write <em>A Mother\u2019s Cry: He\u2019s Still My Child<\/em> to allow others inside my experiences of a child versus a parent, society versus a parent and a parent versus self,\u201d she says. \u201cParents\u2019 choices impact children more than we may realize.\u201d She hopes her book enlightens schools, court systems, communities and parents about the challenges of raising and educating children without categorizing or stigmatizing them.<\/p>\n<p>Commerse, founder of Story Medicine Worldwide and its Elder Women\u2019s Writers Workshop, wrote <em>Womaning: A Memoir<\/em>, in 2022, to give her son \u201cthe gift of his birth story.\u201d The words flowed from her, offering insight into the significance of elder women\u2019s stories and the benefits of forgiving one\u2019s parents. \u201cFrom this writing process, I learned to value my lived experiences, and to listen more carefully to those of others,\u201d Commerse says. \u201cIt\u2019s a lesson so key in these times, one I\u2019m convinced can point a way toward greater understanding and racial healing. Our stories tend to connect and equalize us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The series concludes with Davis\u2019 <em>2025 Threads: A Tapestry of Life in the Black Community of Shiloh and Beyond.<\/em> While working on a master\u2019s degree in narrative medicine, she began to process her own stories of growing up in Asheville\u2019s Shiloh community. \u201cAs I did that work, the stories of home\u2014the ones I had carried in my body for years\u2014began to surface,\u201d Davis says. \u201cI felt a deep urge to share those stories with my friends and family, and to honor the community that raised me and shaped the way I think. By sharing our stories, we become witness bearers for one another. We give voice to the events of each other\u2019s lives, both past and present. This act is especially important in a time when so many stories are being erased or misrepresented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The series invites recognition of the importance of narratives. \u201cPersonal accounts from different perspectives and cultures can help to shed light on ways of life different from our own,\u201d says Willis. \u201cAnd, maybe we can begin to see each other less as caricatures and more as fellow human beings. The hope is that doing so, we can contribute to breaking down the seemingly impenetrable walls that separate us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more and register for the Zoom presentations at WilmaDykemanLegacy.org.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning in September, the Wilma Dykeman Legacy brings back its popular My Story literary series.
