On February 24, 2026, residents gathered to celebrate Black History Month through one of humanity’s oldest and most powerful cultural traditions: storytelling. Hosted by Radio Regent’s own Murphy Brown, the evening featured Anansi folktales.
Brown, a journalist, radio host, storyteller, and activist, framed the stories not as simple entertainment but as living history. Drawing on her African-centred upbringing in South America, she describes storytelling as a lineage shaped by elders and ancestral knowledge. Her work carries forward the role of elders as knowledge-keepers and culture-bearers, ensuring that cultural memory remains active within community life.
