Here in the Bay Area, we know our food!

Many of us can be found growing food in our gardens, collaborating on culinary creations, fighting for fair access, or discussing our dietary dilemmas.

Def Story Slam invites you to participate in an empowering and enlightening evening of community building, ecological education, and story-based entertainment. Join us in promoting the power of storytelling to amplify your voice and articulate your vision. We want to hear your favorite stories about how this delicious subject shapes and defines your world!

Storytelling is a timeless art that allows us to reclaim our relationship to food and share our understanding of what food means to us. We tell stories to spread awareness, share laughs, spark creativity, and stretch our imagination. Our stories about food allow us to cultivate connection and negotiate the nourishment we envision for healthy communities.
