The Grapevine is spoken word performance for adults and teens, celebrating the timeless art of the story, hosted by storytellers Renée Brachfeld and Tim Livengood.
Kona Morris is a storyteller, writer, and educator. With equal parts humor and heart, she tells true stories of her extraordinary adventures and lessons learned. Kona has won The Moth StorySLAM in NYC, LA, and Boston, and she came in first place at the Ojai Storytelling Festival. She was featured on Stories From The Stage (PBS) and the RISK! podcast. Kona teaches story crafting workshops to inspire others to share their stories. More at https://www.konamorris.com/
Carolina Quiroga is a storyteller from Colombia who came to the U.S. for grad school and ended up with a husband, a Southern drawl, and a lot of stories. She mixes humor, heart, and a dash of cultural confusion to tell tales about identity, language, and what it really means to belong. You'll laugh and maybe tear up — and definitely never look at biscuits the same way again. More at https://www.carolinastoryteller.com and https://www.trescuentos.com
