Celebrate the ones who never backed down. Monthly storytelling swap — virtual, 4th Tue, 7–8:30 PM ET.

In honor of independence and the spirit of summer, this month we celebrate the people who held their ground. Tell us about someone who refused to back down — a family member with iron-willed determination, a community that pushed through, or a moment when standing firm made all the difference.

Perfect for personal and family narratives, community legends, or folk tales about courage and resolve. Stories should be told from memory, without notes, and run 5–7 minutes.

STORY SPARKS

• A family member known for stubbornness, grit, or quiet defiance
• A community that refused to give up on something important
• A moment when you (or someone you know) held the line
• A folk or fairy tale about independence or unexpected bravery

Let Me Tell Ya! is a monthly virtual storytelling swap where communities gather to share stories on a shared theme. Stories are told from memory — no notes — and may be personal or family narratives, folk tales, or fairy tales.
