Stories to Tell My Daughter is a live story-telling event in Des Moines that gives women of color a space to share their voices and tell their stories. It was founded by Teresa Zilk, who also produces the event and curates the stories.
Talk of Iowa was invited to record the event in September, and on this special edition of the program, we hear the remarkable stories of five women.
