Noa Baum is a speaker, storyteller, and author.

I first met Noa Baum at the Stone Soup Storytelling Festival in South Carolina where she was a Featured Teller, and then recently hosted her in Naples, Florida, for a performance. Born and raised in Jerusalem, she performs folk tales and personal stories from her unique background with a focus on stories to heal and build bridges. She performs a one-woman show that is now an award-winning book — A Land Twice Promised: An Israeli Woman’s Quest for Peace.

In her performances and workshops, she views storytelling as peace work. Her recent TEDx talk inspired this interview, “Beyond Labels: Bridging Differences Through Storytelling.” Read more about her TEDx talk on my prior blog post.

In this podcast …

  • Meet a dynamic storyteller from the Washington D.C. area.
  • Learn the power of storytelling.
  • Discover how safe space to share stories bridges cultural divides.
  • “Storytelling is peace work.”
