I got two days suspension and more chores for my grandmother than you can count.
A confrontation isn't always like a schoolyard fight.
It can mean asking yourself hard questions, understanding and sticking to boundaries, rolling up in a space that is not meant for you and owning it.
It can mean finding courage.
That was true for our first storyteller, Harjus Singh, who told this at a main stage in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where we partnered with the Zyterian Performing Arts Centre.
Here's Harjus, live at the Moth.
That was Harjes Singh, who is now more confident in his identity, which gives him the strength to be an active representative of the Sikh community after 11 years of being in the U.S.
He is now a software engineer, but also a storyteller, and thinks he inherited storytelling from his grandfather.
He still gets the occasional stare from someone who's never seen a man with a turban before.
But oftentimes, his turban is a great conversation starter.
He'll happily discuss religion with complete strangers anytime.
In a moment, we hear from a backgammon champion, and a mother introduces her kids to the movie Home Alone, and they come up with a plot of their own.

I'm Jodi Powell.
Our next story comes from Antoinette Marie Williams.
She told it from her motorized scooter that she calls her Ferrari and she calls herself handicapable.
Live from our Harlem main stage at City College's Erin Davis Hall, here's Antoinette Marie.
Antoinette Marie Williams is an exuberant advocate, an educator and a world traveler.
At 75, she's still playing and she gives free backgammon lessons to adults and teens outdoors in the park in Harlem or on Zoom.
