News: Storyteller looks to foster diversity, inclusivity | News Break



La'Ron Williams talks to New Castle, PA, media re storytelling and anti-racism and diversity-building workshops.

"“Storytelling actually isn’t the best way to do the kind of work that I’m interested in doing,” he said. “It’s a marvelous tool for putting across lessons that people may have a hard time hearing otherwise. You can make difficult information entertaining and fun, and you can involve a wider range of audiences.

“It’s a good way of teaching without preaching. It’s great for drawing in people who otherwise might not be willing to listen to that kind of information. But it’s not a good way to convey difficult concepts quite often because you sort of have to make things abstract. Sometimes it’s much better just to be able to say what you’re thinking.”"
