Stoop Style Stories is a storytelling platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of the marginalized and fostering genuine connections through the transformative power of narrative. Guided by the belief that every story holds value, we provide a space where individuals can share their truths, explore their experiences, and connect with others on a deeper, more human level.
Inspired by the intimate and communal spirit of conversations shared on neighborhood stoops, Stoop Style Stories brings stories to life—not as performances, but as authentic exchanges that build understanding and strengthen bonds between people and communities.
Founded by Lily Be, a trailblazing storyteller and educator, the platform is rooted in the philosophy of Narrative Care—the idea that sharing and listening to stories is vital for healing, growth, and connection. Through storytelling events, workshops, and resources, Stoop Style Stories serves as a catalyst for education, inspiration, and empowerment, celebrating the uniqueness of every voice while promoting collective understanding.
At its core, Stoop Style Stories is more than a platform—it’s a movement. It’s a place where stories matter, where connections thrive, and where the power of narrative helps shape a more inclusive and compassionate world.
