Did you know that abolitionist Frederick Douglass chose Valentine Day’s as the day to celebrate his birthday, as his birthdate was unknown to him as an enslaved person? Celebrate the strength of Black love with storytellers of The Short Kuts Show, tracing its roots through the hardships of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. This show highlights how love—whether from a partner, family, or community—has been a source of resilience, strength, and healing, playing a crucial role in overcoming trauma and oppression.

Meet the Lancasters: stand-up comedian Larry Lancaster and his wife, singer Kimberly Holloway, will host an unforgettable Black Love Storyteller event. Kimberly Holloway, formerly known as K.
