The ethnodramatic approach Honoring Stories and Integrating Curriculum™, developed by its founder and president, Sarah Hobson, Ph.D. is a systematic way for organizations to design culturally responsive trauma-informed instruction, products and services that engage educators, students, business leaders and their employees as regional and national change-makers.
In our podcast, Honoring Stories and Integrating Curriculum™: How to Build and Sustain Communities, we demonstrate what restoring regional villages around all of our youth and families entails. The first series provides interviews with 6 leaders in one local non-profit, Fathers Families and Support Center, who have built relationships with businesses, funders and government sectors who are helping them provide missing sustainable resources related to affordable housing, healthy nutrition, parenting training, counseling, legal support, employment preparation, and employment in companies to families across our region.
As you listen to each leader’s powerful story of contributing to building this organization, its staff, clientele and diverse talent pipelines, you will learn more about how to join non-profit gems like these in St. Louis or in your own communities in ways that expand the village around the youth and families who need us. You will learn the different dimensions of Honoring Stories and Integrating Curriculum™ that root us in our local histories of removing life-saving sustainable resources for too many black, brown, and white communities. You will learn how Honoring Stories and Integrating Curriculum™ helps strengthen teams who understand how to use the power of collective storytelling to invest in bridge-building communication – among employees, with clients, and with communities. This bridge-building engages employees in organizational thought leadership towards making change with affected communities while revealing how to expand diverse talent pipelines. This bridge-building also reveals new possibilities for how instruction, products and services can better align with community literacies, community needs, and histories of community-led development.

Teacher Learning Stances that Build Trust and Healthy Learning Communities
•Carol describes how the morning meeting works for men to help build trust, community and support
•Carol describes the kind of parenting trauma men often experienced as youth and how she reframes “discipline” – a form of top-down punishment that removes youth agency and ownership over their decisions – as “disciple” – clearly teaching children in ways that align with their developmental age how to respect themselves and others

She takes on a learning stance – learning with them. She shares her failures and is comfortably vulnerable with them. She helps them find their unique gifts. She helps them hear their truths – no matter what belief systems they are faced with. She welcomes the messiness of the world we all have inherited and the ways that mess shows up in all of us.

-Bridge-building communication
-We exist in societies and a world that has created opportunity similarly and differently for people based on certain combinations of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability, ethnic identities. Our societies have also used methods of social control through media narratives, surveillance, violence and discrimination to secure access to resources for some while denying access to resources for others.
-Every person and every family, every generation from the beginning of time has experienced these injustices. Some have seemingly benefitted and still today have the most access to resources. In reality, everyone has been deeply impacted and scarred. When we don’t know or understand how our family scarring by society has worked, we are at risk for perpetuating it.
-Every single person from every race, class, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, ability needs personal, family, organizational and societal relational healing.
-When we limit ourselves to the silos we have been trained to normalize, we don’t encounter the relationships that generate the kind of healing we and our families need to get back all we have lost as a result of the falsehoods we have been trained over multiple generations to believe are normal.
-St. Louis is a holdout for affordable housing and has the opportunity to create a national model for coordinating action that strengthens our regional economy
