Storytelling is not just for putting children to bed, for fathers to pass down to sons, or for building kids’ imaginations. It is a way for people who have faced challenges, discrimination or prejudice to tell their story and make a difference. The Moth Project is an organization started by George Dawes Green, a poet and novelist, that meets with people all over the United States to help them perfect their story and share it. Twelve students were chosen by The Moth Project to share with a purpose, to make a difference and bring students together.

“[The Moth Project] brought me together with a diverse group of kids and we got to show students it’s not only about racism, it’s about people with real problems,” Bria McWoods, senior, said.

Tyanna Green, Mia Woods, Bria McWoods, Oscar Sanguinette, Daisha Smith, Allison Walter, Adrienne Columbus, Kory Anthony- Petter, Sami Rindahl, Quincy Webb and Blake Voller were participants who opened the eyes of KHS.
