STORYTELLING FOR THE GREATER GOOD
Ordinary people carry stories that history can’t afford to lose.
People often move through their lives without recognizing the historical weight of what they’ve done, witnessed, survived, or carried forward. Clo Phillips is convinced those moments matter, not just to the families who hold them, but to the accuracy and completeness of history itself.
She calls this Storytelling for the Greater Good.

History Needs Our Stories
The historical record is full of gaps. They’re your family’s stories, your neighbors’ stories, your own. Every year, stories about ordinary lives disappear, and may never be recovered — not because they didn’t matter, but because no one knew how to see them or tell them.
Everyone’s personal and family history offers rich stories.
Simple anecdotes about past ways of life help us understand trends and movements. Complex tales about struggles, resilience, and adaptability give us wisdom and strength. All have the potential to educate, inspire, and guide us forward.
If we are to make the telling of history inclusive and as accurate as possible, our stories matter.
We are Storytelling for the Greater Good.
