Extra Large shout out to Jen Rubin, our Love Wisconsin producer! She brought The Moth to Madison in 2016 and is celebrating her final event as lead producer after eight incredible years.
Jen’s ongoing love for and support for the Wisco storytelling community is HUGE!
...Storytellers came from around the state last night to honor Jen, including her longtime friend, collaborator, poet and storyteller Dasha Kelly Hamilton!
Also in the house was Gerry Nasi, who shared a real, true story of a bear and his beer-soaked underwear! Jen helped to produce Gerry’s Love Wisconsin story, one of over 150 stories at lovewi.com.
Jen continues helping people shape and share their stories through the Odyssey Beyond Bars education program in five Wisconsin prisons, she hosts workshops, and produces Love Wisconsin. Thank you Jen!!!

Sharing stories is part of what makes us human. And meeting each other through the stories we choose to tell can build bridges across difference and sometimes open new connections.
BIG THANKS to everyone who shared their stories in 2024 through Love Wisconsin and our Human Powered ...podcast. We are so grateful for you!
And thanks for being part of this growing community! There are over 150 engaging stories from Wisconsinites on our website (lovewi.com) and six incredible episodes of Human Powered: Humanity Unlocked wherever you get your podcasts!

Thanks also to the organizations partnering with WH Fellows in their home communities! Based in northern Wisconsin while taking part in Community Powered trainings, WH Fellows are growing extensive networks of partners, learning about the unique community strengths and needs, and developing innovative new projects. These new public humanities projects will receive seed funding from WI Humanities in 2025!
And, the next cohort of WH Fellows begins this important work in the new year. We can’t wait!
