The Moth uses true, personal storytelling to illuminate the human experience, build empathy and drive social change.  | The Moth is an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. At the center of each performance is, of course, the story – and The Moth’s directors work with each storyteller to find, shape and present it.

A lot of my hobbies are things I learned from my dad: -Singing -Playing tennis -Exploring state and national parks While being offline recently for some overdue family visits, I got to introduce my dad to one of 𝗺𝘆 hobbies: -Storytelling It was a really special memory taking my dad to The Moth StorySLAM storytelling competition for the first time, and we actually attended two of them in one week! Last week, we both got our names selected to perform at a show in Philadelphia, and two nights later my dad got his name called to be the final storyteller of the night at a Washington. D.C. show! For years, as I've been performing at storytelling shows across southern California, he's watched from afar and said he planned to try it someday too. It was really special being there to cheer him on as he took the stage twice in one week. He had so much fun up there, and his stories got a lot of laughs! (It runs in the family, obviously.) 😉 I don't know that my dad's going to keep performing as frequently as his daughter does, but I do know that it was such a cool full-circle moment for us to reverse our roles, and for me to share a new hobby and some pointers with him for a change. Now we have another new thing to share. And he knows that we can both teach one another a thing or two.
