🌊 Storytellers Sorrowz_Joy — A Mother and Daughter's Story

Some stories are carried before they're even spoken. In this powerful dual narration, mother and daughter storytellers Sorrowz_Joy weave together two voices, one remembering, one still in the womb, to share a mother's harrowing account of being assaulted by white police officers during a summer beach volleyball game with friends.

Raw, layered, and unforgettable, this piece reminds us that our stories don't start with us, they're inherited, carried, and eventually passed down to be told again.

🔥 Storyteller Jae Lange — "Hot Girl Summer"

Some stories don't just get told, they get felt.

Storyteller Jae Lange had the room in stitches (and nodding along) with their hilarious, painfully relatable take on chasing the "hot girl summer" dream, the lashes that wouldn't cooperate, the heels that betrayed every step, the tight dress that had opinions of its own, and the makeup routine that tested every ounce of patience.

If you've ever suffered for beauty in the name of a good night out, this one's for you.

STORYTELLERS BRUNCH:

And THIS is why people keep coming back to Bar Talks. 😂🔥

Scot Marken had the room cracking up, leaning in, and fully locked into every word.

One minute you’re sipping your mimosa all calm and classy… the next minute you’re crying laughing with a room full of strangers who suddenly feel like family.

That’s the magic of storytelling, connection, honesty. The unexpected moments that stay with you long after brunch ends.

This clip right here? Just a little glimpse of the fun we have together. ❤️🔥

Still floating from yesterday's Storytellers Brunch… 🌸

Spring Fling: Stories That Make Us Bloom was everything we hoped it would be, laughter, tears, truth, humming, heartfelt moments, amazing food, beautiful people, and seven storytellers who reminded us just how powerful live storytelling can be.

There is something special that happens when a room leans in together.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible storytellers, my wonderful co-host Jaracus Copes, and the outstanding team at Friends Kitchen & Cocktails for once again delivering top-tier food, drinks, service, and hospitality.

I am exhausted in the best possible way… and deeply grateful. If you missed this one, you truly missed something special.

But don’t worry, we show up again on July 26th.

Same time. Same place. More magic to come.

Tickets will drop one month prior, so stay close. 🌸
