Judith_Black *Winner* - 2010 Story Slam Season 1st place .m4v
Judith Black told *Welcome Home* for the first time at "in like a lion" slam in March. Lionesses are known to be intensely protective and no one wants to be in between them and their young. Judith portrayed this ferocity and showed how it feels to be helpless in the face of the suffering of a child, a deep and human pain. Judiths range of human emotion and skillful telling about welcoming her son home from war, won 1st prize.
