Holding onto Memory: a life shaped by intuition, reinvention, caregiving, and forgetting
<p>In this moving episode of In the Telling (Season 5, Episode 41), Constance “Connie” Gross—born in Harlem in 1937 and now approaching 89—reflects on a life shaped by intuition, reinvention, caregiving, and community. With warmth, candor, and humor, she recalls growing up in Harlem during the 1940s, where Black families built rich and meaningful lives despite the realities of segregation. Her memories of strong parenting, neighborhood care, and community accountability reveal the foundations of her independent spirit.</p><p><br></p><p>Connie also shares the deeply personal story of her move to Rochester, New York, in 1982. Following what she describes as an undeniable inner knowing that her life was about to change, she left New York City and began a new chapter as an entrepreneur, creating businesses that served local residents and small businesses during Rochester’s industrial era.</p><p><br></p><p>At the heart of the conversation is Connie’s experience caring for her mother through Alzheimer’s disease and, years later, confronting memory changes of her own. She reflects on the challenges of caregiving, the grief of losing her mother long before her death, and the realities of adapting to changes in her own memory. With remarkable honesty and grace, Connie speaks about acceptance, resilience, and the everyday practices that help her continue living fully and with purpose.</p><p><br></p><p>📺 Watch the Full Conversation on YouTube!</p><p>We’ve launched our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtrOBVTgpY8_NxygpxmwPuw">Nomadic Archivists Project YouTube channel</a>—watch this episode in living color! </p><p><br></p><p>For more podcasts, <a href="https://www.nomadicarchivistsproject.com/">Nomadic Archivists Project</a>: https://www.nomadicarchivistsproject.com/in-the-telling-podcast</p><p><br></p><p>Original music by Sean Bempong</p><p>Designs by Christopher Stalling</p><p>Episode produced by Tanya M.

Germaine Ingram on Family, Memory, and Dignity
<p>In this episode of In the Telling (Season 5, Episode 40), Miranda Mims and Steven G. Fullwood sit down with multidisciplinary artist, oral historian, and archivist Germaine Ingram to explore the intersections of family history, memory, and dignity. Grounded in her upbringing in Philadelphia and her parents’ migration from Georgia, Ingram reflects on a formative childhood experience during a road trip to the segregated South, where her mother’s quiet but resolute defiance in the face of racial terror left a lasting impression. Through this powerful story, Ingram examines how dignity is asserted in constrained and dangerous circumstances, connecting personal memory to broader histories of anti-Black violence and resilience. The conversation weaves together themes of improvisation, cultural preservation, and the ongoing struggle to protect and honor Black histories, underscoring the urgency of storytelling as both an act of resistance and care.</p><p><br></p><p>📺 Watch the Full Conversation on YouTube!</p><p>We’ve launched our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtrOBVTgpY8_NxygpxmwPuw">Nomadic Archivists Project YouTube channel</a>—watch this episode in living color! </p><p><br></p><p>For more podcasts, <a href="https://www.nomadicarchivistsproject.com/">Nomadic Archivists Project</a>: https://www.nomadicarchivistsproject.com/in-the-telling-podcast</p><p><br></p><p>Original music by Sean Bempong</p><p>Designs by Christopher Stalling</p><p>Episode produced by Tanya M.

We Are All Libraries Burning - Louie on Radical Love and Why Our Stories Are Worth Preserving
<p>In this episode of In the Telling (Season 5, Episode 39), we’re joined by Louie A. Ortiz-Fonseca (he/they), a Philadelphia-born queer creative, storyteller, and advocate living with HIV. The creator of Gran Varones, a digital project centering LGBTQ pop culture, history, and community storytelling through a Black LatinX lens, Louie brings humor, candor, and sharp cultural insight to everything he does. He also hosts Kikis with Louie, a YouTube series created for and with LGBTQ youth. In our conversation, Louie reflects on the powerful influence of his mother on his worldview, the joys and responsibilities of parenting, and the ongoing work of gently breaking long-held family silences. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Louie shares how music, memory, and community storytelling become tools for healing, advocacy, and redefining what strength and love can look like.</p><p><br></p><p>Get to know Louie:Kikis With Louie: https://youtu.be/tL3qJIym6fs?si=BV5rnpjnpP1Q1SkIGran Varones: Louie Ortiz-Fonseca and a Decade of Documenting Queer Latinx Stories: https://www.thedownload.news/community/gran-varones-louie-ortiz-fonseca-and-a-decade-of-documenting-queer-latinx-stories/LGBTQ&A: Louie A.
