Our Stories

In Liberia, a palava hut is more than a place, it's where truth is spoken, disagreements are settled, history is shared and community is woven together. Most of what our elders carry lives only in the telling. A proverb your grandmother used when you were stubborn. How your family left, and what your first winter was like. Why a certain name in your family means what it means. This is your invitation to add yours. Record it in Kolokwa, the way you would say it at home, with no need to code-switch for anyone. Take a minute or take ten. Your recording joins a growing community-owned collection of Liberian oral tradition, openly licensed so families, schools, and researchers can use it, and yours to delete at any time. Full details on the consent screen.
