Yes, we definitely need more stories. The challenge I have personally found is two-fold. Many people I know personally are uncomfortable sharing their stories, often for good reason. Second, when I share stories that challenge a person's worldview, it is easy for them to dismiss it as a one-off example, while using similar so-called one-off stories to defend their own arguments.
I sadly don't have any easy answers, but I strongly agree that we need to make a lot more space for stories to be shared honestly and safely.
