I felt an instant connection to Natasha Azevedo's article, “Alisha.” She wrote beautifully about her sister's voice that “seems to know everything, having the heavy velvet feeling of an ancient armchair.” As a kid, I used to listen to my grandparents, aunts, and uncles narrate folk tales that had been in our tribe's history for generations. The enlightened and powerful stories held me completely entranced, but the voices and action of the narrators captivated me the most.
Natasha's article shows that the simple actions of those we observe can change how we view everything around us. Thanks for sharing this amazing story.
