ORAL HISTORY
Is your family or organization interested in documenting its story? Imagine clicking a button to listen to your parents telling the story of how they met or playing audio of your company’s founder for future employees and clients. I work with individuals, families, and companies to record their stories for future generations.

Reviews
“I contracted with Ms. Little to create curriculum to teach youth how to produce their own podcasts. Michelle did an outstanding job developing the interactive and youth-friendly lessons and facilitator handbook. We started our process by co-creating a detailed timeline and scope of work. Ms. Little checked in with me periodically so that I could provide feedback on the materials. She was very responsive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented with integrating every note that I provided. The materials needed to be culturally-tailored for Latinas and Ms. Little went above and beyond by reading the literature on best practices and including tailored content. She finished the project ahead of schedule and the final products are beautiful! Ms. Little’s background in academic teaching and oral histories make her a uniquely skilled consultant. She clearly has a deep understanding of the power of storytelling and how people learn as well as the skill sets to create professional-grade content. Overall, Ms. Little was a pleasure to work with and I hope to partner again on future projects.”
“Michelle is one of the best writers and editors I’ve worked with. Her research has integrity and depth, and she knows how to turn that scholarship into engaging stories people want to hear. Not only did she help immensely with the technical aspects of my research; she also helped me understand the content better. She’s the best kind of historian—a true storyteller.”
