Life is short, but not short enough for you to be acting like you didn’t know. Stand up and also bring back hood mechanics, the good ones. Tune into Episode 12.

Jana L. Henry
Jana L. Henry is a writer and storyteller who hails from the Midwest and is now based in Philadelphia.
Growing up Jana has very fond memories of sitting at her grandmother's dining room table listening to her tell all the stories from her childhood, to Jana’s childhood, and everything in between. It was at this same table Jana learned to read which at the time felt like a chore, but in time reading became her rest. She also learned how much she hated the tedious writing process when she was made to write an essay because she had said she was bored. It was the joy that remained when her writing task had been completed and she expressed herself in the way she wanted her “bored” story to be told. It is that same joy that she believes that has pushed her when it comes to writing. “I’m grateful for these moments and experiences where I found my passion and grew to love the ways in which we are able to tell and share our stories. My life’s passion is to create stories that stay with you.”
