What's Our Story?

Each Thursday (8-8:30 AM) at this 4-week series @TheIntersection*, two unlikely paired San Antonians will be sharing their individual stories in a discovery to see if they have an intersection of their common humanity. How do individual lives contribute to our common identity? Is there more than what meets the eye of our perceptions about each other? Does that “more” mean something to our representation among us and beyond our city limits?

“What’s Our Story?” comes out of the efforts of two collaboratives in these post-pandemic times. The SA Story Community Collaborative at StoryPortalSATX.org and the Healing SA Community Collaborative at HealingSATX.org. Both efforts search for and offer up what it takes as a community to heal from our collective trauma.

*@TheIntersection was convened early within the pandemic as a time for faith, community, and civic leaders to learn and work in mutually meeting the needs of the most vulnerable in Our City. It was convened by Mayor Nirenberg and the City’s Faith Liaison. It has continued to meet every Thursday since April 2019, except for Thanksgiving Days. Contact ann.helmke@sanantonio.gov to be placed on the e-notification list and to hear about the specific pairings each Thursday in January 2023.
