Storytelling with Katrina
”THERE’S TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY”
First story: The Three Bears and the Home Invasion
Second story: The Three Evil Little Pigs
Saturday, August 16
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
This program takes two very popular and traditional fairy tales, and tells them from a different point of view. Katrina will be telling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears from Mama Bear's point of view, and the story of The Three Little Pigs from the big bad wolf's point of view.
The goals of this storytelling event are to encourage the audience to tell their own stories about their lives, experiences, and history. No one can tell your story but you; and to always ask questions before making decisions about people and/or situations, because "there's two sides to every story." This storytelling event helps encourage critical thinking skills in a fun way; highlights the importance of each person's truth; introduces the rudiments of individual storytelling.
This event is open to all ages.
ABOUT KATRINA
An extremely involved and knowledgeable individual in the community, Dr. Katrina White Brown truly enjoys her life and the various jobs she has held in the past and holds today in “retirement.”
Highlights of some of her work include serving as a newspaper editor of a daily paper in the U.S. Virgin Islands to her current position as associate pastor at Bethel Baptist Church in Gloucester, as well as a contact ranger at Machicomoco State Park in Hayes. She has numerous activities she has been, or is, a part of and seems to have boundless energy and enthusiasm for all.
Brown said she has “the perfect retirement job.” She was the first contact ranger hired at Machicomoco State Park when it opened in 2021. One of Virginia’s newest state parks, it holds the distinction of focusing on indigenous peoples, most especially Native Americans. As a “contact ranger,” Brown is one of the first people to greet the public as they come to visit.
She has a real love of history and storytelling.
