Shenzhen Stories

We at Shenzhen Stories hope to foster relationships within the community in Shenzhen by sharing true stories that will remind us all that we all have a little more in common than we might think. Shenzhen is filled with people from all over the world and everyone has a different past, a different way to know and be known and with the stories collected and shared through SS, we hope to find common ground. A story can remind is that we are not alone, give perspective, teach us about others and ourselves, make us laugh and cry and think about something we wouldn't have otherwise.

Danielle - Crushed

Danielle found her self in Italy when this whole Covid thing went down. She quickly discovered that she would be grounded in Italy for a lot longer that she expected. What she found in that time was very special and unexpected but will leave her with much more than memories and awesome pictures. See what kind of love is discoverable when you leave yourself open to it even in spite of dire circumstances.

First Day: Schooled - Charles Tetreault/Chocolate - Alli Denson

Two amazing stories in one great podcast. Charles and Alli were both audience members at the last live event who put their names into the hat to share a story. They did not disappoint! Charles tells about his first day teaching at an inner-city school, while Alli recounts her first day meeting her future in-laws. Both experiences were painful at the time but made for hilarious stories for the rest of us.
