Through sadness, we sang; we sang a lot

Valeria Palmertree lost her mother and shortly thereafter her father. Her loss led her to tell this story.

Valeria joined us during our NEON Festival collaboration with ViBe Story Exchange. The night featured storytelling with a creative twist. After telling their stories, the storytellers were followed by an artist presenting an interpretation of the story they just told.

Artist Christopher Revels interpreted Valaria’s story with a painting.
