We are always telling stories – every version of history, every idea, perception, thought or explanation is a kind of story. There are many ways of telling the same stories and many different stories can emerge from the same events. Author Thomas King once wrote, “the truth about stories is that’s all we are.”
Stories make the world. People in power tell stories to keep other people down – but we can tell our own stories back. Only you should get to tell your story; only you know what you need, what you need to say, and what’s true about you.
Here, you will find a collection of stories from PARC members and PARC staff. Some of these stories are about things that happened at PARC or about the history of PARC as an organization. These are stories of fortitude, strength and resilience. They are our origin stories, our superhero stories, our stories of memorial.
To read these stories, just click on a name from the list below. If you would like to have a story included here, you can click the link at the bottom of this page and type it out so a member of LAP can put it online. If you don’t want to do that, you could always find a LAP member or see Griffin, who is staff, and tell your story aloud so it can be typed up. We’re always looking for more stories.
