Be the Star You Are!® is a literacy charity dedicated to empowering women, families, and youth. Express Yourself!™ is committed to developing opportunities and showcasing young people who are bringing the gift of reading and writing to others. In today’s show, our hosts Steven Zhou and Chan Dara Paschal introduce us to thirteen year old Megan Mettler who created a program to bring books to low income communities and Tony Award Wiinner, Beau Sia, who discuses his work as a poet, and how he believes that teens should be able to express their feelings and emotions through writing. Our field reporter, Courtney Cheng, shares reviews of Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie and the Inkheart series by Caroline Funke in Book It and Oregon co-ed, Rachel Glass talks about giving back.
