Our theme:
“Stories of Hope: The Moments That Change Us”
Theme: “Stories of Hope: The Moments That Change Us”
Join Generation Women DC at The Speakeasy at Capo Deli for “Stories of Hope: The Moments That Change Us,” an evening of true storytelling that celebrates resilience, connection, and the power of possibility. Featuring our signature multigenerational lineup, this show brings together heartfelt, surprising, and deeply human stories about the moments—big and small—that helped people find hope when they needed it most.
With our trademark blend of heart and humor, these stories honor the roots of our brand and will leave you feeling uplifted, connected, and reminded that inspiration can strike when you least expect it. Come for the stories, and leave a little lighter (and a little less alone) than when you arrived.
Generation Women is a multigenerational storytelling series that invites a performer in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s+ to share an original true story on a theme. Our mission is to amplify underheard voices, and create space for intergenerational connection and community.

“Generation Women gave me a deeper appreciation for the shared human experience of women. Race, color, sexual orientation and faith did not separate us, in fact, our stories brought us closer together.
It was beautiful.”
