Tricia, First Person Arts StorySlam: Some Like It Hot
Channel: First Person Arts
Date: 2023-05-03

Through 3 generations, Tricia traces her family's uneasy relationship with the heat of the fire, from white-hot anger to running toward the flame.

After praying for fire to burn down the Little Sisters of the Poor school for kicking her two youngest out of school for late tuition, Tricia’s grandmother had no regrets. Even after the school actually burned down. Maybe this is what started a series of events that caused her son to repay a karmic debt by running toward flames as a Philly firefighter.
