Hello Sunshine x Together Live will feature beloved authors, thought leaders, musicians, comedians, celebrities, and ordinary people alike who will share raw, real stories from their own lives. The evening events will feature storytelling, music, laughter, and a big dose of heart and soul. The Hello Sunshine x Together Live Tour will visit ten cities across the United States and Canada in an effort to cultivate a growing community of women whose experiences are as diverse as their backgrounds.

Together Live was founded in 2016 by Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, WME's Head of Worldwide Literary, Lectures, and Conference Divisions, who will continue to emcee the events. According to Walsh, "Hello Sunshine x Together Live forms the perfect partnership for our touring pilgrimage. We are traveling to local communities to share intersectional, intergenerational, open-hearted stories, songs, and laughter (often through tears) to remind us that we are in this together. Especially during these divided times, authentic storytelling is our magic cure for finding connection and meaning."

To promote female authorship around the world and build communities amongst women who are unable to attend the events in-person, Hello Sunshine and Together Live will collaborate to develop premium digital series based on the content of the live events that will be distributed via YouTube, Facebook, and several other platforms. The first two digital series will be "Powered By" and "Story Scouts."

"Powered By" is a six-part series where celebrities and thought leaders share candid, untold stories that remind the world of the true power of women through conversation.

"Story Scouts" centers on our Hello Sunshine x Together speakers for a funny and optimistic conversation with a very special guest. Each episode features an extraordinary woman accompanied by someone they know personally who has mentored or inspired them. Throughout these intergenerational conversations, our speakers will draw out their companion's real-life story and also bravely share their own.

Led by Hello Sunshine's all-female podcast producing team, the partnership also includes an original podcast, Hello Sunshine x Together Podcast. The podcast will be an episodic companion series containing an edited narrative drawn from the events' keynote speakers, comedians, and family meetings, each assembled into compelling, stand-alone, themed episodes with a dynamic host threading the narrative together.
