🔥 CALLING ALL STORYTELLERS 🔥

The season finale of Bar Talks Storytellers Brunch is coming in HOT… and I’m looking for 5 dynamic storytellers to take the stage with me for:

“Some Like It Hot” — Sizzling Summer Stories
📍 Storytellers Brunch
📅 Sunday, July 26th | 12 PM

I’m looking for stories that are bold, funny, spicy, heartfelt, unexpected, messy, healing, awkward, passionate, transformational… or just GOOD. 👀🔥

If you know how to hold a room, make people laugh, gasp, reflect, or clutch their mimosa a little tighter… I want to hear from you.

🎤 Interested in telling a story?

⏰ Deadline: MAY 28th (NLT)

Let’s close this season out the ONLY way Bar Talks knows how…
with connection, truth, laughter, and stories that stay with people long after brunch is over. 🖤🔥

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. 🌸

Spring Fling: The Storytelling Brunch 🌸

​I can hardly wait! We are well underway with preparations for our Spring Fling Storytelling Brunch, and the energy is already building.

Join us this Sunday, April 26th at 1:00 PM for an afternoon where the food, the music, and the storytellers all come together to help us bloom.

​There is a specific kind of magic that happens when we gather to share our truths—it’s an energy that stirs the soul and stays with you long after the plates are cleared.

​Don’t miss out:
​The Experience: Incredible food, soulful music, and powerful stories.

​The Future: This is just the beginning! We’re ramping up with more shows and more frequent opportunities for you to engage, enjoy, and even share your own story.

​The Inside Scoop: I’ll be announcing our next event date live at this weekend’s show!

​Stay Connected: If you can't make it this time, make sure you are following the Bar Talks page.

You’ll want to be the first to know when the next mic is hot and the next table is set.

​Come out, engage, and let’s grow together. See you Sunday! 🥂✨

"Survival became a defiant act of living."

​In this reading from Chapter 10, I share the moment I stopped being buried by my past and started choosing to thrive. It’s a story of moving from darkness to light and reclaiming a voice that was once stolen.

​Come to my Book Signing & Author Talk Back for an intimate afternoon of storytelling, connection, and liberation. Let’s dive deeper into the journey together.
