Each of us has a story, our own personal history and collection of experiences that make us who we are. Storytelling is a natural part of collective learning. Around kitchen tables, at cookouts and family gatherings, after church, people gather and tell stories of wisdom of generations. Retelling of personal history— the mundane and the profound— is our path to liberation.
Tell Her This Community Storytelling Events bring an audience's stories and experiences to life. Musician and Podcaster, Rochelle Rice, will help participants present their personal stories, in the honest and heartfelt conversational style of Tell Her This Podcast. Stories will be presented live and accompanied by live music.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.
Tell Her This is more than a podcast—it’s a heartfelt journey into the lives of women, told through honest, intimate stories that transcend borders and generations. With over 100,000 downloads in 151 countries across six continents, Tell Her This has created a global community of listeners who are drawn to its raw authenticity and deeply personal narratives.
Hosted by music artist Rochelle Rice, the podcast is built on the power of connection. Traveling over 6,000 miles across the U.S., Rochelle has gathered stories that reflect the complexities of the human experience. From the bittersweet ache of family estrangement to the transformative moments of near-death experiences, Tell Her This shines a light on the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of women’s lives.
Tell Her This Live! brings these stories to life in a three-dimensional, multi-media experience. Audiences are immersed in audio vignettes from the podcast, paired with Rochelle’s emotionally charged performances of original music blending pop, soul, and jazz. This is set against a backdrop of striking video imagery from Strong, Like Water, a large-scale portrait art installation that honors the resilience and grace of women.
Through words, music, and visual art, Tell Her This invites listeners to connect with the profound and universal truths found in personal stories, proving that even in our differences, we are connected.
