There’s something about Louis' voice; it’s both wise and callow. It feels like he has the answers while he’s searching for them. Louis used to rob people on the street, but he stopped. Now, he’s trying to reconcile the person he was with the person he is and wants to be. Louis worked with Anthony Mascorro at 826NYC to tell this powerful, complicated story. (By the way, it was nice for us to learn that Anthony acquired his editing chops at Transom.) We all hope you’ll visit Transom to listen, and talk to Louis and Anthony.
I just listened to your story, and I want you know know you really inspired me. The way you talk and describe your story was very powerful--you have a real gift. I esp got emotional because I thought about my brother, who is struggling with some of the same issues--even though--like you--he has a family that loves and is trying to support him. I live in the Bronx too, and I know how easy it is to get caught out there.
Thank you for the courage to speak. So many young men in our neighborhoods will now get insight on the same things they're probably feeling. And because you were brave enough to speak about it-- hopefully it wont seem "corny" or "un-cool" to talk about the "why".
Hey Veralyn,
Thanks you for the love, I'm glad that voicing my opinion can grasp people's attention and hopefully inspire them to take positive action. When I was going through these problems I thought I had no one to talk to and expressing myself in this manner took alot of self analysing, but I'm happy I did it. I don't plan to do any more radio, but I did this because I felt my experience had to be heard.
