“OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE”
We all have a comfort zone. It’s familiar, predictable, and usually where we stay. But sometimes life nudges us out of it. And sometimes it shoves.
Join us at Triumph in Red Bank for a night of true stories about saying yes when you wanted to say no, taking a risk you weren’t ready for, crossing an invisible line, or realizing the thing you feared wasn’t what you thought it would be. Some stories end in growth, some in laughter, some in hard-earned lessons — and some in a spectacular “well, that didn’t go as planned.”
This month at Generation Women, we’re getting uncomfortable — together.
Generation Women is a multigenerational storytelling series that invites a performer in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s+ to share an original true story on a theme. Our mission is to amplify underheard voices, and create space for intergenerational connection and community.

“Generation Women gave me a deeper appreciation for the shared human experience of women. Race, color, sexual orientation and faith did not separate us, in fact, our stories brought us closer together.
It was beautiful.”
— Sulma Arzu-Brown, author/activist
