Elizabeth (Betsy) More, program director at the Jewish Women’s Archive, explains how the first commercial edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves, “exemplifies the power of coming together communally and collectively to tell our stories.”

On October 24, we hosted a workshop in Boston at MassArt titled “The Future of Storytelling.” We invited grantees to bring in meaningful objects and share their significance with the group, focusing on the influence of these items on their work in the culture and nonprofit sectors.

Be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel to watch other videos about our grantees’ incredible work and stories.
