Philly’s Changemakers Take the Stage at MISSION Story Slam

Think The Moth, but with a mission. On Tuesday, June 10 at 6 PM, the city’s most passionate changemakers will take the mic at MISSION Story Slam, a high-energy, heartwarming storytelling competition designed to amplify the voices of those making a difference. Hosted by PWPVideo at National Mechanics in Old City, the 12th edition of the biannual event is themed “The Time is Now”—and it promises stories that are bold, honest, and deeply human. In just five minutes each, nonprofit leaders, activists, and local heroes—including First Person Arts Executive Director, Jamie Brunson—will share true personal stories about overcoming obstacles and standing up for what matters.
