Love Is A Parable was honored to participate in the 25th Annual African American Cultural Celebration in Raleigh, North Carolina, held at the North Carolina Museum of Art. This annual celebration serves as the statewide kickoff to Black History Month and brings together storytellers, artists, musicians, authors, and community voices to honor the richness of Black history and culture.

Our founder, J. Dwayne Garnett, had the privilege of serving as a storyteller, sharing reflections that connect history, values, and lived experiences. Storytelling is a core tenant of the Love Is A Parable mission. We believe stories are seeds. When planted with intention they grow into understanding, connection, and community.

With the 2026 theme recognizing a Century of Black History Commemorations, it was powerful to stand among so many voices committed to preserving history while shaping the future.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful gathering and to continue demonstrating how value based education, storytelling, and personal reflection can bring people together.
