Opal & Perla’s Honest Poem
In this episode, we have some kiddos on the mics. Opal and Perla join me to share their Honest Poems where we talk about dreams, cuddle puddles, dogs, first time performing and what it’s like to be on a podcast. Now, Opal kicks things off by going through the whole Honest poem then it’s Perla’s turn. So, Perla’s mum helped write this poem, and you can hear in the recording that Opal coaches Perla through it. I decided to keep all of the sibling support in the episode so I hope you’re able to hear the quiet comments in between each section of the poem.
The Faces of Mesa is a photo-podcast series exploring individual truths through the Honest Poem framework and expanding on these topics in conversation. The Faces of Mesa podcast project highlights unity within the diversity of Mesa’s community. Faces of Mesa serves as a "snapshot" of our community--neighbors, friends, families and strangers, who perhaps aren’t so strange. The Honest Poem is an entry route to understanding each individual. Exploring favorites, firsts, fears, and dreams drafts a constellation of the individual before the expanded discussion. This podcast is based in Mesa Arizona and produced in the Mesa Arts Center Co-Lab Studio.
