English term or phrase: a series of as-told-tos

Salve, sto traducendo un articolo giornalistico sui transgender, e mi chiedo se ho tradotto bene un termine che sembra appartenere al linguaggio slang.

Ai fini di una migliore comprensione metto la frase per intero e il termine in questione fra virgolette :

Because violence and terror and discrimination isn’t the sum total of people’s lives, I’ve asked a range of transgender women of color living in D.C. to tell their own stories. I wanted to know everything—the experiences they’ve had with employment, their families, men, housing, girlfriends, spirituality and dance floors. I wanted to hear about how they survive—and thrive. Below is the first in a series of ''as-told-tos''. The first brave soul to answer my nosy questions and let me edit her responses into a narrative is Danielle King.

Io pensavo di tradurlo o ''storie'' oppure ''racconti''.

una serie di interviste

Explanation:
Non credo esista un corrispondente italiano consolidato e quindi
