His solo shows have been featured in the 2023 Teller in Residence season, off-Broadway, and nationwide. NPR presented his show Flirting Like an American is a show about romance, culture, and one immigrant’s story. An international affairs scholar by day, Sufian draws from his personal experience as a first-generation immigrant and political analyst, which might be funnier than it sounds. His storytelling endeavors received the 2020 JJ Reneaux Emerging Artist Award from the National Storytelling Network, and his academic research won the 2019 Best Book Award from the International Studies Association. Cheryl Hamilton is devoted to advancing inclusive communities and storytelling. After twenty years in the nonprofit sector serving immigrants and refugees, she founded Stellar Story Company. The woman-owned business helps people and institutions deliver extraordinary stories and unforgettable events for meaningful change. She is also the creator of the Suitcase Stories® series and former director of curation and coaching for the award-winning national media program Stories from the Stage. Hamilton has coached over 1,500 storytellers from 85 countries. Jasmin Cardenas is a Colombian-American award-winning bilingual storyteller, Theater maker, Actress, Educator and Social Activist. Jasmin Cardenas is a theater maker who uses teatro and play to create spaces where people can connect, tell their story and spark change. A proud daughter of Colombian immigrants, Jasmin was inspired by El Teatro Campesino when she began using Theater of the Oppressed to devise original scenes with working people in the fight for workers’ rights. Learning T.O. with Augusto Boal dramatically altered the course of Jasmin’s life and she will be forever grateful. Together with Chicago’s working people she co-founded WorkersTEATRO in Chicago, IL to amplify wage worker stories by engaging the public. Recognized for her arts & civic engagement work she was awarded a 2020-2022 international LAB Fellowship by The Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics at Georgetown University. She most enjoys discovering new places, ideally by bicycle. Emcee Denise Manning Keyes Page began storytelling when a dear friend in her last months of living with ALS urged her to do so. Denise excavated a story she had written about her mother’s family, edited it so that it was an appropriate oral story and shared it at a community story event. She did so to honor two people she loved. Her mother and her friend. Her mother was deceased at the time, but her friend delighted in the feedback she heard. Ms. Page is convinced this entry into the art of storytelling ignited a passion within her because it began in so much love. She had no intention of telling again. But she has. That was 2019. She tells stories to heal, challenge, inspire, inform and connect. Community Tellers Natalia Tilton envisions a world where no one is disadvantaged due to language barriers. She consults with governments and NGOs to train interpreters who support migrants and refugees to access social and medical services. She passionately advocates for a language access law in Germany, aiming to ensure free interpreting services for all citizens. This marks her debut as a storyteller. Nazia Jamal is a resident of Boston who has recently fallen in love with storytelling. Nazia resettled to the United States in January 2024 after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, where she worked as a teacher, inspiring young women to pursue education. Today, Nazia teaches full-time in a language school and speaks as often as possible with her students and family back in Afghanistan
