Meet Michelle Kholos Brooks & Project Fear
"I hope that young people will see what connects them rather than what divides them. I interviewed kids from Alaska to Hawaii to New York to South Carolina to Iowa. I interviewed progressives, conservatives and kids of varying cultures and identities. Almost every single kid told me that they had anxiety, that they hated middle school, and that they were scared of spiders. Those are great places to start when it comes to finding commonalities instead of differences." ~playwright, Michelle Kholos Brooks
Congratulations Greg Banks!
