Stories That Move

California Book Tour 2025


Empowering Through Storytelling Across the Golden State

We are excited to announce the California leg of Roy Juarez, Jr.’s Stories That Move 2025 Book Tour — a journey rooted in healing, resilience, and the power of storytelling. This summer, Roy will travel up the California coast, sharing his Amazon bestselling memoir, Homeless by Choice: A Memoir of Love, Hate, and Forgiveness, and connecting with communities in a powerful way.

Each stop is more than a book signing — it’s a chance to spark meaningful conversations about adversity, purpose, and transformation.
