Show Notes
This week, Radio Headspace is all about the power of art and creativity. In that spirit, we’ve invited artists and art teachers Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss to be our special guest hosts all week! Jessica and Asherah created “Peptoc,” an art project all about getting pep talks from students at West Side Elementary in Healdsburg, California. It even has a “Peptoc” hotline, where people can call if they want to hear words of encouragement from kids. There have been more than 5 million calls to the hotline and today, Jessica and Asherah talk about how the project went viral, the power of a child’s voice and the importance of art in tough times.
