It always warms our hearts when we know we are connecting with people from all over the world. That has been our goal since the beginning. So you can imagine how delighted we were when we learnt that 37 new people signed up on our email list, most of them from Africa. We have always taken pride in telling international stories, and this time, we bring on stage just the perfect person for the job.
Jitesh Jaggi is an immigrant storyteller, educator, and dancer from India.
A five-time The Moth Story Slam winner, his stories were recently played on NPR and on WGN TV’s Day Time Chicago Show. As a storytelling coach he has taught workshops for the World Health Organization and the University of Chicago among others. Jitesh’s one-man show “Suitcase Stories” played at the Steppenwolf Theatre and The Second City. Jitesh was a keynote speaker at the international educator’s conference- NAFSA and a panelist at the AWP (American Writer’s Program). As an Oral Historian, he collects the stories of the South Asian diaspora living in Illinois since the 1950s and weaves his own personal tales with those of his immigrant ancestors. He will share these amalgamated stories as an Illinois Road Scholar for 2026-27.
Join us for an evening of unforgettable stories, unexpected laughter, and meaningful connection. Every Story Luck Potluck Show is a reminder that the stories we share have a way of bringing people closer together—and tonight, you just might become part of Jen’s ongoing field research.
