The Maron Project

A storytelling project

Real stories. Told by the people living them.

A storytelling project that elevates the voices of marginalized communities so that the people who live, work, and build inside those spaces can tell those stories themselves — and the rest of us can actually understand them.

Who better to tell the story of a community, a craft, or a space than the people who actually live and work inside it? That’s the whole thing. Storytelling — by them, not about them.

Why the project exists

  • Storytelling, first

    Every episode is a story — guests tell theirs in their own words, in their own time, on their own terms.

  • Voices, elevated

    A platform for people from marginalized communities to be heard fully, without filter or framing imposed from the outside.

  • Pathways into new spaces

    Who better to tell the story of a field, a craft, or a community than the people inside it — and the doors they can open for the next person.

The stories so far.

Episode by episode, guests tell their own stories — about who they are, the communities they come from, and the paths they’ve walked into the spaces they work in today.

Have a story worth telling?

Every story we’ve aired so far started with someone deciding their experience was worth sharing. If yours is, here’s how a conversation comes together.

  1. Step 01

    Tell your story

    Think about the parts of your story other people would benefit from hearing — where you come from, the space you work in, the path you took.

  2. Step 02

    Reach out

    A few quick details about you so we can prep a conversation that actually fits your story.

  3. Step 03

    Have the conversation

    An honest, unhurried sit-down. You lead — we follow your story where it wants to go.

  4. Step 04

    Reach the next person

    Your episode goes out so the next person in your community can see themselves in the spaces you stand in today.
