“Stories connect people,” says Danielle Hairston Green, after telling a story about her personal life. She is cohost of Madison Moth StorySlam. The non-profit has been a platform for people’s stories since 1997 on the second Monday of each month at High Noon Saloon. Ten people are selected to share their five-minute story.
StorySlam has told 90,000 stories, had 90 million video downloads, travelled to 28 major US cities plus Melbourn and London at 9,000 events.
“We need both qualitative and quantitative information to tell a story,” Green reminded everyone, as she urged them to share their own stories.
