On September 30, Expresso features Barbara Aliprantis. The theme is ‘…where are YOU from?’ Aliprantis is a nationally acclaimed trilingual teller who loves to share stories about her Greek-American immigrant childhood in Brooklyn, NY. She also shares tales from the classroom gathered over 35 years telling stories to multi-ethnic populations, hearing and deaf.  Aliprantis is the recipient of the NSN ORACLE Service Award, and she was honored at NYC City Hall for “her distinguished body of work.” “Barbara’s stories about her immigrant experience transcend the bounds of one language one culture.”

September also is when we participate in the 100 Thousand Poets for change. How are you contributing to changing the world for the good by your writing? Please share with us. www.100tpc.org
