“so magnificent – we were so with you, through every hue of  emotion – we were laughing, whooping, crying, afraid…The show also had a kind of epic quality to it – at points like we were hearing about a character from mythology, as if your experiences spoke for many of us and told a story about many of us.” -Jumana Moon

“blown away with the story content.... I was so inspired and impressed by your journey, determination and resilience.” – Trish Chang
