Hello Everyone!
I realized that I often do not share what may have been posted on Instagram, Facebook and/or Twitter-- all of where Housing Works posted this video-- so here is the video where I share my thoughts on why I think it's important to write your story. I was invited by the wonderful actor, writer, teacher, mentor Michael Kearns, who I met when he was running the westside arm of the non-profit Spoken Interludes, which places writers in underserved classrooms. I worked a lot with Juvenile Hall youth, one of my favorite places to be. Michael Kearns is an amazing human being, as he works tirelessly for this world, and I adore him.
