This poem is about my experience growing up being forced to be Kosher.
Story
Luca Bernstein
(she/her) Mentee
There are many things Luca Sabine loves to do, she may not be good at them all but she learned that is not what’s important. Luca loves science, soccer, writing, dancing, cooking, singing and swimming at the beach. She’s really worried about being able to accomplish all her goals, that’s why she always remembers to enjoy the little things in life because you never know where you’ll end up. Luca’s favorite thing in the whole world is probably food, she feels guilty admitting it because there are a lot more important things but food makes her the happiest.

Artist‘s Statement
Writing always used to be just a way for me to release my emotions, a safe space to express what I was truly feeling and never tell anyone. I always understood the power of reading something that captured what I was feeling perfect and helped me feel a little less alone. So although there is no common thread in my writing my main idea is to allow someone going through similar things to feel a little less alone.
Story
Where
We all come from somewhere, but that doesn’t mean we all belong somewhere. It took me a while to learn where I’m from, so now its time to learn where I belong.
