Grown Folks Stories: Juneteenth Edition
June 19, 2025
6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Created by Cara Brigandi and Eric Williams, owner of The Silver Room, Grown Folks Stories is two hours of five-minute stories of our community, told by our community, that range from hilarious to absolutely real. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cringe, you'll feel. Come join this ever-popular gathering of nonprofessional, unrehearsed storytellers, who give us the real stories we live every day. There is no theme, no judging, no poetry, no readings. It’s storytelling that you’ve never experienced before. Hosted by Binkey, PLUS enjoy a Black Culinary Experience by Chef Rob Carter of Diaspora!
