story circle
Explore the many ways we interact with drugs through the first-hand accounts and insights of the elders.
From healing to pleasure, culture to community, addiction to recovery, humans have always connected with drugs in profound and personal ways. Here, Black elders are invited to share the full breadth and depth of their lived experiences with substances both sacred and synthetic.
We invite you to read their stories. Partake of their wisdom. And if you are so inspired, submit your story to be shared here, as well.

Our individual relationships with drugs are as varied and complex as we are. We hope these stories will connect some dots, fill in some blanks, affirm your own experience, and most of all, open the door to further conversation.
