Dustin Curtis talks with socks on his hands for a living. He's at once an artist, administrator, performer and Puppeteer. As Executive Director of Socks On My Hands Productions, Dustin leads the nonprofit Puppet Arts organization which focuses on Creative Skill Fluency. He's studied the artform internationally, been President of the Puppeteers of America and founded Trivia Puppet Company out of Seattle. As Dustin puts it, "Puppetry is a universal language, one that teaches relation and empathy - a pathway to relate, connect, and encourage people" - of all ages.
Nathan Hale High School's Podcast Club Advisor and fellow Theater professional, Gavin Reub, sat with Dustin to discuss the ages-old art of Puppetry, the unique ways it can foster identity and expression, and the importance of creative communities that live outside the mainstream.

There are often expectations that kids cannot meet, or kids who are basically left behind by their families. The best thing a therapist can do is provide validation, and delight in a human's presence. Find something that they just love about that person. Being able to find that and really mirror that to somebody can be super-duper healing. I think we've been able to accomplish that."
Tanya Keenan is a clinician and Behavioral Healthcare Specialist at Compass Health, working with teens that are experiencing housing instability across Snohomish County. Her work takes place at Cocoon House, one of Compass Health’s partners, working with young people, families, and their communities, to break the cycle of homelessness. Led by 18-yr-old host Gavin M., we explore the link between behavioral and housing stability in teens, and how communities can work together to address the crisis where it first begins to emerge.

In the United States, until you become a citizen you're not guaranteed many of the equal and basic rights afforded to the majority of the population. And to become "undocumented" can be a nightmare, affecting and interfering with your physical health, mental health, family, occupation... virtually everything. Navigating these obstacles can seem impossible, unless you can find help. "In a nutshell, we are the 211 and the 911 for the West African Community... where if they need anything they come to us, and if we don't have it we make a concerted effort to go and find it." This kind of zeal, resilience and determination comes from a place of survival, and from a man who has found dignity in overcoming the countless challenges of an undocumented immigrant.
Originally from Gambia, Pa Ousman Joof's experience as an undocumented immigrant inspired him to establish Washington West African Center and provide the identity-affirming services he needed but couldn't find. The nonprofit now provides programs and services for more than 5000 community members annually.
