Hear Me Out: Off the Streets, in the Kitchen

Hear Me Out was an audio storytelling workshop series at BPL, co-produced by Virginia Marshall, UnionDocs, and lead instructor Stephanie Foo.

Jasmyne Roberts's grandmother came to Brooklyn from Vietnam in 1979, with her husband and nine children. In order to keep her sons out of gang activity in Borough Park, she opened a restaurant and solicited the help of her children, keeping them out of trouble and supporting her family at the same time.
