Real Food Real Stories presents 1st Annual Benefit StorySlam: Salty & Sweet
At Real Food Real Stories, we believe that the food industry holds some of the most unique and inspiring stories today. Our farmers, chefs, and food makers are brave, tenacious, and passionate to the end of the earth. We know that when we bring them together in one room to share the vignettes of their stories it will be one unforgettable evening.
Our first annual StorySlam will include interactive food stations, sensory experiences, a raffle, and the main act: A StorySlam, where an All-Star roster of Bay Area food providers will tell their short stories (based on a theme). In addition, we will provide a wildcard opportunity for attendees to drop their name in a hat for the chance to tell their personal story.
In the end, “Stories break silence and nourish those who work, feel and dream.” -Carmen Naranjo
Join Real Food Real Stories for a story-filled night, raising funds to continue the RFRS’ pro-bono storytelling coaching program for food changemakers in order to promote the humanizing of the food system.
