Connect, learn, and make an impact with story
We champion the art of autobiographical storytelling through live performances, classes, consulting, and digital content
Why stories matter
We all search for meaning in our lives. A great story shines a light on the things that matter and encourages us to pay attention.
A great story is irresistible and unforgettable. It connects you with shared human experiences and emotions, enriches your sense of self, and opens your mind to perspectives and life experiences that may be different from your own.
Experience storytelling with Story District’s live shows, classes, consulting services, podcast, and YouTube content.

Before getting Story District off the ground, Amy claims she was eating sugar by the spoonful just to stay awake during meetings with her boring boss and her dead-end job. Hear the story of what inspired her to put the spoon down, leave the job, and start Story District.
