The Grapevine, a monthly storytelling series was this evening. The featured tellers were Nancy Donovan and Valerie Tutson. I'd heard the first story (about an encounter with a fortuneteller) Nancy told before, but I never mind when it as good a story as this one was. Her second story, about protectiveness towards her mother, which included a couple of incidents in Paris, was also good. Valerie's first story built off a folk tale, with a connection to Langston Hughes and led to apartheid-era South Africa. Her second story was an extremely powerful one regarding an enslaved couple escaping to freedom. Overall, it was well worth my time.
