Today I am sharing an episode from the awesome Stoopkid Stories Podcast. It’s called Black History 365 and is a great introduction to why it’s so important that we learn about Black history and culture all year round, recognizing the amazing things that Black people have accomplished and the great and important things they're doing today! Did you know that listeners love Stoopkid Stories so much that it’s been turned into a live musical? Check out her newly update website for more info on the podcast and musical, and subscribe to Stoopkid Stories on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app!   For news and updates on Peace Out, please subscribe to our mailing list. Peace out and peace within, Chanel

Kelp Help

Hello everyone! We usually post a new episode every other week but this week I thought I’d share a holiday story that I wrote that was shared on the Story Time podcast. It’s about a boy named Henry who is having a tough time in a new neighbourhood…but things start to change once he starts making the biggest snowball of his life! It’s read by my friend Rob Griffiths. If you like this or want to hear more bedtime stories, go over to bedtime.fm or find Story Time on Apple Podcasts. They have a lot of great stories that I think you’ll really love! And you might hear me reading a couple of them! But for now, I hope you enjoy my little story called The Snowball. Happy holidays! Peace out and peace within, Chanel
