The challenge is getting all of them gathered in one location for the recording session. I am sending a prayer to the universe that we get a good turnout. Transportation, work, family obligations, incarceration... the list goes on. All of the beautiful, powerful poems written by El Paso young adults these past six months deserve a wide audience. These young people and voices have changed my life, and I am especially grateful to them for their courage and pride.

Hope it went well, Emmy.
Thank you, Gina. We had a great time with those who we were able to make it. We're really excited about the cd. Hoping to have another recording session too before summer's end. Thanks for your support!
