In December, Jack Straw sponsored its last event of the 2016 writers in residence program. Writers were partnered with songwriters and I had a chance to work with Seattle musician Tai Shan. Tai wrote a piece based on my essay in the Jack Straw anthology and stories that I shared with her about my ancestors. We performed the piece together onstage.
