Скачать или смотреть Why Beginnings Matter: Memory, Oral History, and Legacy Work

January is more than the start of a new calendar year—it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and decide what we are responsible for carrying forward.

In this episode of Shelton Talks, we introduce our January theme, Rooted in Purpose: Memory, Responsibility, and Renewal, and explore why beginnings matter when the work you’re doing is legacy work.

This conversation reflects on:
• Why we revisit history at the start of a new year
• Oral history as a grounding force for individuals and communities
• What Shelton Talks is committing to protect and tell moving into 2026

This is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember with intention—because without memory, renewal is impossible.

Your story matters.
Your history matters.
And this work continues.
