Our lives unfold in stories. There are stories in the making when our hearts soar or break, when we are loving or scheming. There are travel stories, love-hate stories, stories of obsession and of food. We all have stories of the day that changed our lives or of the little ironies that we've encountered over the years.
Get up close with three storytellers as they share intimate details of defining moments—in their own words. Heart-breaking, hilarious or mundane, these stories are monuments to our unique identities and our humanity.
Eli Nur Fadilah is a poet and single mother of one, hailing from a small village in Cilacap, Indonesia. She has been working in Singapore since 2011 as a domestic worker.
James Lee is an aspiring performance artist who has tried his hand at comedy, music and acting. After repeatedly being told that his comedy had a storytelling style, he decided to try his hand at actual storytelling. His creative inspirations come primarily from his two daughters and his ongoing struggle to be a good dad.
