He told this at our Story Slam in Washington, D.C., where we partner with public radio station WANU.

Here's Soufiane.

That was Sufian Jumoko.

Fun follow-up, exactly 90 days after telling this story, Sufjan was at a social event where he was recognized by a woman named Margarita.

She remembered his round-toed shoe story from the DC Moth Story Slam and introduced herself.

A romance was born.

Sufjan has since written a show about their relationship called Flirting Like an American.

Look it up.

It may be coming to a theater near you soon.
