The organization's mission is to inspire a culture of storytelling as civic acts that foster belonging and connection in physical and digital public spaces throughout the United States of America. During 2024, TSOU established its first major public-art initiative, the "Talking Drum" series, a multi-city sculptural storytelling installation. The organization conducted an open request-for-proposals (RFP) process to identify artistic collaborators and commissioned renowned designer Jomo Tariku to create the Talking Drum sculpture form. TSOU then sourced and contracted a fabrication partner to produce molds and prototypes for the sculpture form. Throughout the year, TSOU convened workshops with artists, historians, and community partners to define its ten Narrative Themes-the guiding framework for the organization exploring identity, belonging, and connection. The organization commissioned 11 artists to create 10 large-scale sculptures for its debut installation in Detroit, Michigan, which took place from June to August 2024 in Capitol Park, Valade Park and Afro Nation Detroit music festival. TSOU also participated in national convenings to introduce its work to broader audiences, including exhibiting at the PolicyLink Equity Summit in Atlanta, in August 2024. In Q4 2024, the organization began planning its 2025 exhibition schedule, initiating artist commissions and design work for the United Nations installation in Q1 2025, and Cleveland installation in Q2 2025. Through these activities, The Stories of Us commenced its mission of fostering belonging and connection, showcasing its work to a debut audience of 30,000 people, across 4 locations in Detroit and Atlanta. 736879 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 0 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X X Mosaic Bookkeeping 2026564553 104 Bristol Dr Dayton OH 45458 Wei Soo COO 50.00 0.00 X X 146875 0 0 Ashley Shaw Scott Adjaye CEO 50.00 0.00 X X 137163 0 0 Dennis Marcus CEO 50.00 0.00 X X 112500 0 0 396538 3 false false false 0 1364218 1364218 Sales 7042 7042 7042 10518 10518 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1381778 10518 7042 X 0 0 0 0 373759 373759 0 0 0 0 0 0 4775 4775 6692 6692 0 0 0 175005 10615 53175 111215 15000 15000 81 81 3206 176 3030 0 0 26350 26350 0 0 0 0 0 5003 5003 Artwork Production 281553 281553 Exhibition supplies/materials 31565 31565 City events & activities 7200 7200 Printing and Publications 3430 3430 3380 2150 982 248 936999 736879 88657 111463 150000 389849 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 539849 94071 999 0 95070 X 355542 89237 0 444779 0 539849 444779 X false true X true false X 1420600 1420600 0 0 1420600 1420600 1258352 162248 10518 10518 0 0 1431118 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1438160 56382 56382 1381778 1381778 993381 56382 56382 936999 936999 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b 990 forms will be provided to the Board of Directors for review and signoff Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Monitored by the Secretary Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a Benchmarking to PNP Salary Survey Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b Benchmarking to PNP Salary Survey Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Available upon request
