Come and learn how place shapes story with Baltimore’s Chief Storyteller, Alanah Nichole Davis. This interactive program explores how the places we move through every day influence the stories we carry about ourselves, our neighborhoods, and our city. Using Baltimore as the central frame, participants will reflect on how local environments shape memory and identity and practice turning these observations into short written or spoken narratives.

BMA Lexington Market is located in the Upper Market near the Baltimore Room at 112 N. Eutaw Street.

Storyteller Alanah Nichole Davis weaves together the voices, rhythms, and everyday magic of Baltimore into stories that resonate. She believes storytelling begins with listening and reading, and that every story is shaped by the voices and experiences we take in. In her workshops, Alanah guides participants to explore how literacy, imagination, and shared stories connect, inspire, and transform.
