I was born in Brooklyn and then moved to Jamaica, Queens. I like to shop, and to play volleyball and soccer. I also love to listen to music and to be places where it’s calm and relaxing. I am a narcissistic and a modest person. I feel a lot of different things about the world-- it amazes me.

14-year-old Krystle has been living in a group home in Manhattan since last summer. She never expected to wind up in "the system," but when conflicts between Krystle and her mother reached a boiling point she found herself separated from her family. In her radio story, Krystle documents what life is like in the group home and how she might be able to move back to her family.
