A TED-style stage for women's transformational stories.
About this Event

Join us at the iconic cSPACE Theatre for an unforgettable curated experience.

Fifteen women from across the globe will take the stage to perform real-life stories of vulnerability, courage, comedy and transformation.

Celebrate the voices of remarkable women stepping into the spotlight as they connect, inspire and ignite change.

Each performer has lovingly crafted and embodied her personal story over the past years so she can generously offer it to you as ART.


Our personal stories hold the power to connect us to our shared humanity in these chaotic and polarizing times. ~ Callie B. Elwayns, Founder, Bold & Visible



This event is for anyone who ...
  • Believes in the strength of being vulnerable,
  • Values meaningful conversations in community, and
  • Holds the vision that we can create a more compassionate, less divided society.



Past audience feedback

Mesmerizing. I can’t explain the feeling in the room. It felt like every storyteller knew me, like she was telling my story. ~Jennifer

This is true art, raw, honest and deeply beautiful. ~Jackie

I feel more excited about my own life and less alone in my struggles. ~Lisa

To be honest, I didn't expect to like this. My wife brought me. I was surprised that I could not take my eyes off the stage. I really enjoyed myself. ~ Richard
