Celebrating every story, connecting our community, inspiring change.
Since 2020, Qesati has been a space where everyone is welcomed, heard, and included. We host talks, workshops, and community events that get people growing, connecting, and engaging.
Can you imagine a world without storytelling? Neither can we! That’s why we bring people together to share experiences, spark empathy, and inspire positive change.
In a world that can feel a little disconnected, we’re here to show just how powerful stories – and community – can be. Through our work, we create spaces where people feel connected, included, and inspired to make a real impact.
We imagine a world where storytelling – of all kinds – gives everyone a voice, helping us share knowledge, connect with each other, and build a more inclusive and empathetic society.
We’re on a mission to create a space where storytelling comes alive – sparking change, nurturing understanding, and bringing people together in meaningful ways.

We believe collaboration can create amazing impact! That’s why we team up with community members, local and global organizations, and businesses, to celebrate achievements, spark change, and empower people.
Through guest speakers, workshops, and panel discussions, we bring stories to life –amplifying voices, highlighting inspiring individuals, and showcasing causes that really matter. Our partnerships are thoughtfully chosen to serve the community, making sure every story and initiative leaves a lasting mark.

We’re excited to invite you to a very special workshop that’s a little different from our usual storytelling sessions.
This time, we’ll be exploring stories through hand-printed textiles with Carolina Cerna, who will share her journey and how she blends her Peruvian background with influences from the Arab world to create pieces that tell stories through pattern, color, and design.
We’ll get to know Carolina’s story, reflect on our own, and experiment with turning our personalities, memories, and experiences into prints on fabric. It’ll be a space to create, chat, connect, and explore our identities in a different way.
The workshop is beginner-friendly, and all materials are included.
DM us to register and receive all the details. Spots are very limited.
