Real talk about growing up, being human, and navigating student life as we explore the feels, fails, and stories that help us understand ourselves and each other. We are passionate about the power of story to create change, shift perspectives and deepen understanding. This student-led production is a space to create dynamic and engaging audio work and share personal narratives that connect us to intimate conversations about social justice, identity and community.
