Again rising to reader Raf Stevens’ challenge for me to present more examples of good storytelling in this space, I give you another one that is making the social-media rounds.

This one could not be more different from my first entry, posted earlier this week, “The Closet.”

While that one was a video/digital story, this one is an oral performance (although it is a video of an oral performance).

While my first selection used very few spoken words, this one depends on spoken words. The spoken words give it a huge portion its power.

The rest of its power comes from the delivery by actor, singer, writer, and composer Daniel Beaty, illustrating just how much a teller can bring to a story.

Like my first pick, this one is relatively short — two minutes and 35 seconds.

It is also classified as Def Jam poetry — but it undeniably tells a story.

The story draws the listener in and builds to a powerful climax that includes its audience. Commenters have used words and phrases like “brilliant,” “riveting,” “beautiful,” and “the most passionate, powerful, intense. genuine, wise and meaningful message”
