Being my Own Damn Hero: Stories of Guts and Grit. We don’t need another hero—we’re already looking at one in the mirror. This March, we bring you stories of the time we inspired ourselves. Stories of courage and of self-care. Of audacity and action. These six true tales from our multigenerational line-up will inspire you, surprise you, and entertain us all. Join us in community at the iconic Joe’s Pub for a life-affirming evening that’ll leave you feeling empowered and ready to take on the world. If our storytellers can, you can too!
