This project is about building bridges. 

The Amana Stories Project is a space for our Amana community to share transformative narratives, stories, and perspectives around identity, culture, and race that transform the reader’s understanding of community. Sharing our stories (and opening ourselves up to understanding other’s stories) is an opportunity to build bonds and connect with each other on a very human level.
We welcome you to share your own story, or to peruse through this page over the coming weeks and months to take a peek at this vibrant, beautiful diversity that makes this Amana community so special.
