Additional Information
Known as Khabir the Storyteller, Khabir Shareef has
been an actor since 1987.
Khabir believes that “the story is
a shared experience where
the teller and the listeners
become united through
the use of their imaginations.” First-person
interpretation is one
of many ways a story
may be told and shared.
Khabir’s
presentation has universal
appeal and enhances understanding
of African-American history
and culture.
