Bring Your Own is a nomadic storytelling series that takes place in unconventional spaces within the community. Each month, eight storytellers have eight minutes to respond to a theme. BYO airs on All Things New Orleans and is a biweekly podcast on WWNO.org.
This story was told on April 2, 2015 at 218 South Jefferson Davis Avenue, and later produced by Thomas Walsh. The theme of the evening was "Secret Weapon," and here, Jon Greene opens up about the challenge of working with challenging students. And how sometimes, nobody wins.
The next BYO will take place Thursday, March 3 in partnership with Eve Abrams’ Unprisoned Series. The theme is "Born on Parole." For more information, go to bringyourownstories.com.
