by Dolly Parton with Robert K. Oermann
Dolly Parton. Songteller. My Life in Lyrics.

by Jess Janz
The Table Where We Meet
When Jess Janz found herself craving deeper conversations―but trapped in a world of small talk―she took a leap. What started as a casual idea in a hair salon soon became Dinner With Strangers: a growing movement where guests gather around a table, introduce themselves without ever mentioning work, and share who they are beyond the job title. No scripts, no expectations, just curiosity, courage, and a seat at the table.
