This is the Moth Radio Hour.
I'm Samuel James.
As I was listening back to these stories, I was reminded that walking the walk doesn't just show others who you are.
Along the way can reveal who you should be, who you can be, and who you want to be.
And sometimes, even more than that, like with our next storyteller, Kaya Jarvis.
They shared their story at a showcase we produced featuring stories from women and girls that we presented in partnership with the Kate Spade Foundation in New York.
A quick note that this story references an eating disorder.
Here's Kaya Jarvis.
Kaya Jarvis is a 16-year-old born and raised New Yorker.
They said they spend their hours going to school, playing in a band, making art, curled up in a ball with headphones on, and skipping around with friends.
To see a picture of Kaya and find out more about any of the storytellers you've heard this hour, as well as info about other Moth Live events, you can visit our website at themoth.org.
Our next story is from Dr. Sam Blackman.
He shared this emotional story about his work in pediatric oncology in Seattle, Washington, where we partnered with public radio station KUOW.
Live from the Abbey Arts Center, here's Sam Blackman.
Sam Blackman is a pediatric oncologist, cancer drug developer, and chief medical officer at Day One Biopharmaceuticals.
He lives on Orcas Island in Washington State with his wife, Julie, daughter, Annika, and a menagerie of pets.
Sam said his decision to enter medicine was less about science and more about understanding life and what makes it so precious and special.
This experience was a tipping point for him, and he has carried the memory of Brianna with him for over 20 years.
You can see a picture of Sam from his residency days on our website, themoth.org.
Coming up, navigating teenage crushes in high school, where your mother is also your teacher, when The Moth Radio Hour continues.
