As a participant in The Moth's Community Workshop with Artreach, Inc., I share a story about my heritage, moving to NYC, and my Great Uncle Jerry.

Recorded in November 2023.

Emma Palzere-rae - Associate Director, Artreach Inc. and Independent Theater Artist in interveiwed by Deborah Gilbert.

My recollections of 9/11/2001 as well as the encounter on the 10th anniversary that would change my perspective.

Check out Emma's family's YouTube channel Sailing Houdini.

These three minutes could save your life! Nobody plans on falling overboard, but if you do, you want to be prepared. Captain William shows you the ins and outs of inflatable life jackets. He'll even do an actual demonstration.

More videos on sailing and cultural travel coming soon!
