Story | Mistaken Identity

This is a story of a time when I had my identity mistaken by someone and I didn’t correct them for 2 years.

Bill Hillman’s Windy City Story Slam Semi-Finals were at the Chicago Urban Arts Society last night. 15 storytellers, 5 make it to the Finals.  Here’s who won. Shannon Cason - Moth StorySLAM Grand Slam Champion Patrick Salem - probably from something but can’t it find right now Samantha Irby - bitches gotta eat Scott Whitehair - Story Lab and This Much Is True Cara Brigandi - Grown Folks Stories Yes, and me! Luis Antonio Perez Big Nod to Jeff Kerr of Criminal Class Press and Deb Lewis of 2nd Story who also killed it last night. I am blessed to share a stage with such talented people. Not only talented but  also cool to hang with. Chicago is murdering the game on storytelling right now. It has offered me the opportunity to rub elbows with these mega talents and will make for great “I knew them when” stories for the near future. You may not know these folks now, but you will. #RepChi
