New York City - Take Care

  • ONLINE United States (map)

Join us online as we livestream four stories about taking care of ourselves and others from The Tank in New York City.

Hosted by Tracey Segarra and Erin Barker.

 

Stories by:

Macayla Donegan is a recovering academic neuroscientist who just lost their spouse to brain cancer, and lost a career she had worked a long time for at the same time. She has a really cute dog if you need a pick me up after that bummer of a sentence.

 

Annie Tan is a special education teacher, activist, writer and storyteller. Annie has fought for public education and tenants rights, and with teachers unions. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Huffington Post, New Republic, the PBS documentary series Asian Americans and twice on the Moth Radio Hour. Annie is currently working on a memoir about her family and honoring their legacy.

 

Richard Cardillo is a six-time Moth StorySLAM winner who's appeared on The Moth Radio Hour and the Moth podcast. He is featured on The Best of RISK! #12 podcast. He’s performed at Story Collider, RISK!, Yum's the Word, PBS Stories From The Stage,  and Big Irv’s Storytelling Show. Rich is a passionate bread baker and, yes, has gone to that quirky (scary?) place of naming his 16-year-old sourdough starter. 

Rich is also a 25-year resident of NYC's Lower East Side and has been an educator for over three decades on two continents and in three languages. He's instructed on all levels from preschool to graduate programs, considering himself still more of a learner than a teacher....but always a storyteller!

 

Evelyn Alvarez is a Mom, Doula, Trainer, and Founder. She also shares carekeeping duties for her mom who has Alzheimer's.

She likes laughter, 90's R&B, booty shaking, romance novels and sunsets.
