"The idea is, by telling their own stories, youth can have a different way of understanding their sexual and reproductive health,” he said. In a sense, it is therapeutic but more broadly about self-expression and “empowerment through storytelling." - Patrick Jagoda

"When I came out of law school, I did the same thing as everybody else. I came out as a prosecutor expected to do justice, but I never learned what justice was in my classes — none of us do." https://t.co/VH5LOkqf2Z

"People doing violence have a reason in their mind, and it is our job to help them unpack that." Panelists say we need to examine needs and gaps in food, housing, protection and affirmation youth need while covering gun violence in Chicago. @JoyceFdn #publicnewsroom

[Andrea Faye Hart @lenifaye]

It takes a village to pull off a weekly event like the #PublicNewsroom, especially when trying to ensure it is a brave space for debate and deconstruction of the most pressing issues in #Chicago.

And every week I my gratitude for this space/that village is strengthened.
