“Don’t talk to strangers.” Those words are ingrained in us. But we chose to talk to strangers, despite the hurdles of approaching others, because we believe personal stories have the power to connect people and inspire compassion.

We’ve been listening to and sharing personal stories of the people of St. Louis since we launched the project in 2014. We’ve tackled important issues, created a platform for dialogue and discussion, and celebrated humanity.

As St. Louis’s story continues to be written, we wanted to take a snapshot of the past handful of years the way we always have — one photo and story at a time. Typically, the Humans of St. Louis (HOSTL) posts only get a day of playtime on the page. But the stories are still relevant, timely, and enjoyed by so many. So we made a book!
