The Power of Storytelling. Can you remember a time when you were impacted by the power of a captivating story? Facts and numbers are easily dismissible and often disregarded, but compelling stories evoke emotions and propel listeners or readers to act! Stories honor diverse cultures, identities and lived experiences. They bring us back to the foundation of the domestic violence movement. The roots. The voices of survivors.
