“Storytellers are advocates for all the people whose worlds we are witness to. (the stories themselves) In order to truly represent those people, a storyteller must not deal in extremes. Even a person of the most base nature has an ounce of humanity, love, wisdom, courage & compassion. The storyteller’s responsibility is to find that ounce and bring it to the surface, if only for a fleeting moment.” Jan Blake 26/1/22 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #storytelling #orater #truthteller #griot #janblake #truthtopower #wordsofwisdom #oraltradition #thisqueenreigns #janblakestoryteller #storytelling #BlackHistoryMonth #auntie https://www.instagram.com/p/CaWwTW6Pxt3/?utm_medium=tumblr

He was a true Artist that moved me. I have watched his performance in the last episode of 'The Night Of' 50 times. He embodied such a bravery and a fragility that so many tough guys in my family radiate. He was intense and flagrant in his blackness. He was charming and used his humor and dancing to disarm. He was also an addict that ran to and from drugs for his own reasons. Such a complex soul. He was stunningly human. Mighty. Rest in Power, Sir. You were Magnificent. #michaelkwilliams #thespian #dancer#orater #comedian #vulnerable #bold #fallen #achiever #artist #americanclassic https://www.instagram.com/p/CTgTGcThEI-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Platform in the plaza, in front of the 'Pyramid of the Moon'. When someone standing on the platform claps (makes loud noise of some kind, maybe orating, music etc.) the echo bounces off the three structures surrounding it. Watch the video and listen after the teacher claps for his class, you can hear the echo sounding back like a chirp.
