Memories are vital to storytelling at the Moth.
We ask that the stories people share are from their own memories, meaning that while it's tempting to tell a story that you heard from your grandmother about when she was a child, we always want our tellers to be firsthand witnesses.
In some cases, however, our ancestors stories are very much relevant to our lives today.
Some stories start way, way earlier, like this first one.
Hannah Drake's tale starts before she was born and even before her mother was born and even before her grandmother was born.
Hannah Drake told this at the Muhammad Ali center in Kentucky, where we partner with Louisville Public Media.
