Whether he's presenting an ancient folktale or sharing one of his many incredible experiences, one can't help feeling a part of the story. About the Community Tellers Edjohnetta Miller is a quilt/fiber artist working with color, pattern, and textures of fabric. She enjoys the freedom, movement and power given to creating the sculpture of cloth. She finds combining the various colors, patterns and weaves of fabric very exciting. She makes each quilt simple, essential, and direct, wanting the viewers to be able to visually enter her quilts and walk through fields of color to the still, contemplative space within. Her work is like a spiritual journey that allows her to return to the dye table, sewing machine, quilting studiously day after day with renewed anticipation of what beauty will evolve. At times she is surprised with the results of a work that seems to have a life of its own. This reminds her of the truth that she is not in control of the process, but simply guides it. She wants her quilts to reflect her positive view of life as well as her love of fabric. For her, life is enriched with diverse experience and amazing opportunities that should be embraced and shared. https://edjohnetta.com/ Rain Warren, Ph.D.: Dr. Rain’s career as a facilitator, educator and trainer in peace-building, dialogue, and conflict mediation has spanned over twenty years and has taken her to over 100 countries around the world. Recently, she was honored with the Legacy International Humanitarian Award acknowledgement of having directly impacted the lives of over 34,000 youth, and the Josephine “Scout” Wollman Fuller award by psychologists for Social Responsibility, recognizing her outstanding contributions to the advancement of peace and social justice. Dr. Rain is currently developing a project called “Creating a World that Listens”, in which she takes red chairs to public places and provides a peaceful space in which she simply listens to the issues and concerns of everyday people. Often she asks them to respond to the question, “What would you say if you knew the world would listen?” She has had profound conversations with all races and ages of people from 6 to 93 years age.
