Stories have the power to celebrate our individuality, establish common bonds, open minds, move hearts—and also entertain. As part of our “Everyday Love Stories” session, Steven Michael Carr shares a moving personal story that delivers on all of the above.

Steven Michael Carr has told stories for The Moth, Double-Edged Stories, USA Today's Storytellers Project and Louisville Fringe Fest, among other platforms. Steven produces two storytelling shows locally, Tales from the Jukebox and Come Out Lou. By day he's the Development & Operations director for IDEAS xLab and founder of SMC Story Coaching.
