The Black Storytellers Alliance (BSA) is a non profit organization dedicated to assisting the community in finding the information that it needs about the power of the oral tradition as practiced by African people in the Diaspora. Their mission is to maintain the art of storytelling as a primary source for positive instruction and reinforcement of the rich beauty embodied in the telling of “the story!”
