Upon my release, I shared my story with the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County, and that resulted in full-time employment within five weeks of my release.
Several years later, I told my story in a courtroom, and the judge ultimately vacated my wrongful conviction.
Had I not learned the importance of storytelling and how to tell my story, I don't know where I would be today.
There's something powerful about taking charge of your narrative, sharing your own story, whether it's on a stage, to someone you care about, before a parole board, or in a moth community workshop.
After the break, a story about anger and healing.
Back in a moment.
Welcome back.
Our next story was told by Christopher Blackwell at a community showcase, which featured five remarkable workshop participants whose stories were selected from the hundreds heard through our community program each year.
Christopher was able to share his story from inside a Washington state prison.
Here's Christopher, live at The Moth.
What's up, what's up, man?
How you doing?
That was Christopher Blackwell.
In the words of Peter Aguero, it was incredible to watch the audience explode with joy when they heard Christopher's voice booming through the room.
Peter described the bit of silence before Christopher responded as, quote, just perfect, a moment he would never be able to replicate.
Christopher Blackwell is an award-winning journalist, the co-founder and executive director of Look to Justice, and his writings have been featured in the New York Times and many other places.
Christopher dedicates his time to advocacy and storytelling by amplifying the voices of those impacted by the carceral system.
We were able to meet Christopher during a workshop with Galaxy Gives, a foundation that supports leaders and organizations working to dismantle systems of oppression.
Both of these stories, Dolores' and Christopher's, reminded me of this past April when RTA performed Sister Act in Bedford Hill's correctional facility, the New York State Women's Maximum Prison.
One day before opening night, the cast was running their final rehearsal in front of a small audience.
