Marisol Gonzalez tells the story of when she and her family moved into an all white neighborhood and were not fully welcomed. She was determined to win over her neighbors and threw a party. In our interview we talk about the impact this party had on her family and her neighborhood. We also discuss the difference between telling a story in a classroom to people you know versus on a large stage in front of 200 strangers.
We listen to a story Marisol Gonzalez told at the Odyssey Project writing class in 2018, talk about the issues in the story, and discuss how she chose to put the story together. (Audio recording by Brendon Panke of Madison Storytellers.)
