Description
This is Episode 10, Season 2 of The TMI Project Podcast: Black Stories Matter featuring TMI Project storyteller Shai Brown. This episode was produced by Hayley Downs and mixed by Marlan Barry. It was co-produced by Radio Kingston. Special thanks to Ida Hakkila, Nate Brogan, Kale Kaposhilin, Jimmy Buff, and North Guild Productions. Growing up, Shai's mother was the neighborhood booster: she sold what she stole to people in the neighborhood. It supported her drug habit, but she couldn't do it alone: at six years old, Shalawn became her mother's partner in crime. Shai reads her story at TMI Project’s first Black Stories Matter performance in 2017.Useful Links: TMI Project: www.tmiproject.org
