Bring Your Ownis a nomadic storytelling series that takes place in living rooms, backyards and other intimate spaces within the community. Each month, seven storytellers have eight minutes to respond to a theme. BYO airs on All Things New Orleans and is a biweekly podcast on WWNO.org.
This story was told on July 31, 2014 at the Louisiana Himalayan Association, and later produced by Karen Gardner. The theme of the evening was “Diamond in the Rough” and here, Katie DeBruhl tells how a sea full of American Girls helped her get closer to her own American Dream.
Bring Your Own is a production of LaineKaplan-Levenson. The next BYO will take place on Thursday, February 26. It will be a special "Winners Circle" showdown, featuring past BYO champions. For more information, check out the NEW WEBSITE!
