Event #1: "Jamaica Farewell" I attended a live storytelling session and learned about Debra Ehrhardt's zany journey to America. Debra's tale is all about desperation, hardship. and an humor, all packed into one. She really wanted to get to America any way she could, doing things like dressing up as a nun or wooing an international intelligence agent, even agreeing to smuggle cash into Florida under the watch of said intelligence agent. The story was entertaining and relatable, and I found myself constantly sympathyzing with Debra throughout the story. Whenever she got lost, whenever she almost got caught smuggling cash, whenever she got a rush of excitement and success, I felt it with her entirely. Below is a picture of Debra I found on the internet during her performance of "Jamaica Farewell".
