Last Wednesday I was on WUNC’s The State of Things with Frank Stasio. Although I was very nervous at first to be interviewed live, by the time I had a chance to talk I was quite relaxed and just excited about the entire experience. They devoted the hour to a conversation about teenage pregnancy and young motherhood. I think the entire hour was fabulous. I’m so proud to have worked with Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of NC to put this together, certainly one of the biggest accomplishments of this year. Take a listen if you haven’t already.
The State of Things
That same day was the exhibit opening reception. The room was built to accomodate 70 people and it overflowed with standing room only. I had a chance to give a speech in the beginning and then moderate a panel. I loved every minute of it even though I was totally exhausted by the end. It made me even more certain in my decision to pursue a clinical psychology PhD. The photos below are stolen from my friend Mark Schueler’s website.
