In this heart-opening episode of The Frequency of Courage, host Megan Imbert sits down with Marj Kleinman—storyteller, photographer, and founder of Stoop Stories—to explore how one Brooklyn stoop sparked a citywide movement of intergenerational storytelling, community healing, and authentic human connection.

Megan and Marj discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic birthed the award winning "Stoop Stories" project and the magic of stoop culture in Brooklyn and beyond. They discuss how this project has helped combat loneliness and isolation through storytelling, especially among youth and elders.

Marj also shared how she is working to help revive old-school New York street games and is helping to plan an Old Skool Street Games Festival in Manhattan on May 18th from 12-4pmET.

This episode will touch on emotional healing, nervous system regulation and why every person has a story worth sharing, even if they don't believe it.
