While working at HotWired in 1996, Derek Powazek launched Fray, a pioneering online community devoted to personal storytelling. Raw and emotional, the website soon expanded to live storytelling events and then to a series of independently-published books. Now, for the first time in over a decade, Derek returns to the Fray to host a night of your true personal stories. Want in? Join #fraycafe in Slack.
