Why did you join the Vocalo storytelling workshops?

I  joined the storytelling workshop to learn the mechanics of radio and hopefully share those skills with young people in the future.

Your piece in 20 seconds:

My piece is about the dance party Cumbia Sazo and the process of creating a cultural event in a Chicago neighborhood.  

Why did you chose to tell this story?

I chose to tell this story because Cumbia Sazo is a small local event that draws people from all over Chicago, and because the music is awesome!

In what ways are you a better storyteller and producer?

I have learned all sorts of new skills, especially when it comes to the technical aspect of radio storytelling.  I have also learned that not all great quotes and moments can make it into the piece, but that’s OK!
