ASE (pronounced ah - SHAY), is a term from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa. ASE affirms, as we express our spiritual devotion, that there is power in our words; not just the words we speak, but the words and feelings we express in our stories.

They named themselves ASE: The Chicago Association of Black Storytellers, and they set out to share this magic with each other and the world.
