HUMAN. Stories. is a place to be fully HUMAN, both as a storyteller and as an audience member.

It is a space where messiness is welcome and lived experience is recognized as wisdom. Stories are shared with honesty and care, and the room itself becomes part of the experience. What unfolds is shaped not only by the voices on stage, but by the presence, curiosity, and humanity of those listening.

The wisdom in the room is appreciated and harnessed. Questions are allowed to surface rather than be rushed past. Pause and reflection are encouraged so meaning can take shape in its own time.

HUMAN. Stories.™ is a new kind of storytelling experience. One where truth is shared with care and silence is part of the experience.

Hosted by Tracie Jae, also known as The Quiet Rebel, this inaugural gathering invites the community into stories that are honest, grounded, and intentionally unhurried. Each storyteller shares a lived moment through the HUMAN framework: Honesty, Urgency, Meaningfulness, Accountability, and Nuance.

This first-ever HUMAN. Stories. takes place on Tracie Jae’s birthday, making the evening both a personal and collective celebration of truth told aloud.
