Q: What’s your favorite part of 826NYC?
A: Getting to read all the student writing for sure! The youth are so creative and thoughtful, and there were times where I was tearing up typesetting certain pieces (shoutout to “Bangladesh (My Country)”). Young writers are able to capture a certain excitement and reverence for life that was really touching to read, and it made me feel very hopeful for the next generation regardless of how the world may seem at large.
