These stories emerge from livedexperience—shaped by family, place, joy, struggle, humor, and resilience.For Black listeners, they offer recognition, affirmation, and resonance. The late Dr. AJ WilliamsMyers, professor emeritus of Black Studies and longtime community leader said, “I had neverpresented writing in such a fashion to others before. Taking the TMI Project workshop, I felt atease with myself after sharing my personal story.”For the wider community, the stories invite deep listening and a greater understanding of thepeople and histories that shape Kingston. \"We read stories, articles, the news, books aboutracism, but nothing makes these issues real like people sharing their stories,” said audiencemember Amanada Sisenstein. “TMI Project helps me continue to learn and to be aware of andconfront my implicit biases.\"This Spring, TMI Project launches The Storytelling Club, an ongoing gathering space forpeople who want to listen deeply, write honestly, and share stories in community.
