A weekly serialization of Michele Carlo’s memoir about growing up as a redheaded Puerto Rican in an Italian/Irish neighborhood in 1970s NYC. We’ll be reading a chapter or two from the book each week, along with a little music and commentary about the timeframe of the featured stories, plus interviews with guest artists, performers, filmmakers, educators and more of my acquaintance talking about what we do and why our voices need to be included and heard now more than ever.
