Liza's Loss



Liza Enriquez achieved her childhood dream of becoming a nurse. She also lost her house in the economic crisis.

But this story wasn't coming out clearly. So I kept asking her to say it again, in different ways.

Eventually we got it just right. But then, more than words came out.






Listen to Liza share her story, and the way we worked together to make it come from the heart.


Liza will be reading her story in libraries and schools around Seattle as part of the Speakers Bureau, a public speaking class for ELL students. Special thanks to Rachel Leadon.
