Story Jam is a storytelling and music show (and school) which spotlights underrepresented voices and builds bridges through the art of personal narrative storytelling.
With crafted stories, and original songs for each story, Story Jam has been offering popular live events all over Chicago since 2014. Story Jam is led by singer-songwriter-actor
Stephanie Rogers, who has training in education, theatre, music, writing, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and social justice. It is her goal to elevate the art of storytelling to combine activism with entertainment.
In 2018, Story Jam Studio was created to offer classes, trainings, and retreats to customers and at-risk children and adults. In Story Jam's efforts to spread the art of storytelling and create therapeutic storytelling programs, Story Jam offers those traumatized by social injustice the chance to heal and grow through crafting and sharing personal stories in a safe, professionally supported setting.
Story Jam Studio has partnered with After School Matters in Chicago, as well as public schools and charitable organizations, to help underserved groups share their stories in a manner which supports healing. As Story Jam expands and creates more programs for varied organizations and schools, Story Jam seeks funding for staff, social workers, and trained professionals.
It is Story Jam's wish to bring as many storytelling programs and events as possible to children and adults in 2023!
