Priestess TV Episode 33: The Power of Storytelling with Mariam Issa

On today’s episode of Priestess TV, we are graced with Mariam Issa’s presence, who brings forth the memories of her mother, grandmother, Somali, Kenya, and the traditions of both African and Islamic spirituality. 

Let us begin with the words of her mother, “it is a great idea to sit on your own mat as you weave your new one.”

Are you a visionary desiring to create a new world? If so, Mariam invites us to first listen. It is a privilege to listen to others, for it gives great insight into their traditions, cultures and invites you into their homes through their heart. Everything can change by celebrating our differences while also realizing we are one.

The human spirit is threaded, and therefore we are not far from one another, and we see this through tales. Let us revive the ancient ways of learning and teaching through stories, for it is a way to educate our children and our community. 

Mariam, we honor the story weaver in you. Mariam, named for Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Issa, Jesus himself. May others be soothed by your poetry, and may your words evoke feelings that stir change.
