Our HISTORY

The StoryJam journey began at one evening in Brooklyn in 2019. StoryJam founder Cece Helgesen attended an open-mic event organized by The Moth, the leading name in American storytelling. Inspired by that evening, the former New Yorker decided to draw upon her wealth of experience in production, marketing and the narrative arts, to bring the concept to France—to Montpellier, her adopted home.

Two years later, StoryJam was launched, producing shows, storyslams, workshops, and personalized coaching to bring true stories to light.

Making an impact through storytelling

StoryJam’s events and programs resonate as deeply with those who tell the stories as with those who listen.
