GREAT NEWS! We had so much fun in December, we're now doing this monthly! Mark your calendars for the 4th Tuesday of every month!
Are you interested in sharing your story?
Join us Tuesday, 01/28 for our first 2025 monthly series #TALKSTORY brought to you by Ryan Takemiya, for your 5 minutes of storytelling magic. Instead of singing or playing music, step up to the mic and share a piece of your world—your job, your childhood, or even just a wild moment from your day. It’s YOUR story, and we’re here to listen.
Our first theme: A NEW START
Expect laughter, tears, and everything in between as we connect through the power of storytelling.
Date: Tuesday, JANUARY, 28, 2025
Location: KOHO Creative Hub | Japantown Center East Mall (above Daiso)
Time: 6pm - 8pm
FREE to attend!
Sign up at the door or RSVP below
This is a safe, supportive space—no judges, no prizes, just real people sharing real stories.
Don’t miss our kickoff 2025 event and help us make Talk Story the heart of our community!
