What is 'Talk Story'?

In Hawai`i, we like to talk and tell stories. We like to share with others, listen, enjoy each other's presence, and exchange kindness or care (aloha). We do this by talking story. We visit in passing, stopping to bond and asking about family and life. We speak with strangers, make jokes, or find mutual humor and related experiences. We talk about community, alliances, and kinships and build bridges in mere moments.

When you talk story, you are not just chatting but building interconnection. When you are truly present with another person, it creates a connection and a sense of belonging. And we all want to feel like we belong; there is even a science to it.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, besides food, water, and safety, a sense of connection is one of the most vital needs we must fill. Talking story makes sense because we are social creatures wired to connect on a human level.

And so, when we talk story, we connect with others.
