In our third season of Complicating the Narrative, ConTextos alumni Mariah and Tatiana are back to bring us stories of resilience. Each episode this season will explore resilience in the context of one of our ConTextos Authors Circle programs.

We're kicking off this season with an episode that features Dear Chicago: Youth Telling Their Truths, a six-week program ConTextos developed in partnership with Chicago Public Schools in the Summer of 2020. Twenty CPS students met online daily with Authors Circle facilitators Dr. Moore and Dimitri to create video letters from themselves to Chicago. Check out one of those video letters by CPS student Michelle here.

In this episode, Tatiana and Mariah (both former students of Dr. Moore) talk with Dr. Moore and Dimitri about the experience of working with young people as they explored and shared what their lives were like during a summer that was unprecedented in so many ways.

Feel Me, Then Heal Us
