As a high-school student, Porsha Thomas watched her mom lose her job . Earlier this year, she shared this memory as part of an audio gift she made for her mother, through the Curie Youth Radio program.

Porsha Thomas is now a freshman at Northern Illinois University, where she’s studying film directing. She tells us that her mom is a supervisor at Evanston Northwestern Hospital, and doing well. Porsha’s story came to us from Curie Youth Radio, as part of our occasional series, Southwest Side Stories.
