SUMMARY:Winter Read: A Storyteller’s Guide To Changing The World with tai simpson
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling is the most direct connection between people. The 
 way we live our lives tells a story\, including how we treat one another 
 and how we engage in the world. Storytelling is also the pathway toward 
 healing and building a world of thriving & liberation. tai’s keynote will 
 explore how storytelling helps us to nurture the best versions of ourselves 
 to change the world.\n\nPart of the 2023 Winter Read. This program will be 
 livestreamed and available to watch later. Click here to watch 
 online.\n\ntai simpson (she/her)  is also named “The Storyteller” in 
 the Indigenous language of the Nimiipuu\, commonly known as the Nez Perce 
 Tribe. As a direct descendant of Chief Redheart\, tai takes great pride in 
 serving her community as an organizer and advocate. tai catalyzed her 
 racial and social justice organizing while studying Sociology and Political 
 Philosophy & Public Law at Boise State University. \n\ntai is an organizer 
 for the Indigenous Idaho Alliance. In 2018 and 2019\, the Indigenous Idaho 
 Alliance drafted the proclamations for Indigenous Peoples Day for the State 
 of Idaho and the City of Boise. In 2020\, the Alliance helped to draft a 
 Concurrent Resolution acknowledging Missing & Murdered Indigenous Peoples 
 Day in the Idaho Legislature.\n\nAs an co-Director with the Idaho Coalition 
 Against Sexual & Domestic Violence\, tai focuses on violence prevention and 
 response within Idaho’s tribal communities. In 2019\, tai gave a 
 TEDxBoise talk exploring the belief that Indigenous “old ways” need to 
 come back in style rejuvenated to interrupt harmful social norms. As an 
 antiracism educator and community organizer\, she uses Indigenous 
 storytelling to depict the lens of “old ways” and how they protect the 
 sacred\, build strength in the community\, and keep nature in balance\; 
 these principles support her work to champion radical inclusion\, equity\, 
 and liberation.
