Heritage Education & Storytelling for Real-World Impact

Preserving memory isn't passive — it's a strategy for belonging, truth-telling, and building futures.

I help communities, creatives, and institutions preserve their stories, shape cultural memory, and build pathways for intergenerational impact. Through oral history, legacy-driven media, and strategic storytelling, I work at the intersection of memory and movement.

📖 "Storytelling isn’t just about remembering the past — it’s about mobilizing history into action. When communities own their narratives, they own their future." 📖

About Dr. Myeshia Babers

Filmmaker | Storyteller | Cultural Strategist

Cultural storytelling is a tool for honoring memory, mobilizing wisdom, and shaping what comes next.​

I carry the soil of fields my ancestors turned, and the stories of border crossings, schoolhouses, and quiet revolutions. My work stands at the intersection of history, media, and community—where legacy is not just remembered but reactivated.

​As a filmmaker, researcher, and cultural strategist, I use storytelling to preserve what matters and build what’s next. Through oral history, public education, and media-making, I help individuals and communities root their work in deeper memory and broader meaning.

My storytelling practice spans oral history, cultural media, and public education —whether I'm documenting legacy through film, guiding community preservation efforts, or mentoring new voices. I work with those who believe memory matters: educators, creatives, institutions, and communities looking to turn story into strategy.

Let’s bring your story into motion—grounded in truth, built for impact, and carried forward by legacy.
