On this week's episode of GRIT, host Sean talks with Ronna Levy. Ronna has been telling stories in the classroom for the past 30 years. She’s now begun telling stories outside the classroom. She’s been featured at “Long Story Short,” “Grackle,” “UCB East,” “Speak Up" and she used to be seen at various in-person open mics throughout New York City.
Now she can be seen at various Zoom shows, including GRIT's 7 by 7 and 99-Second Story SLAM. She’s toured her one woman show “This Gonna Be on the Test, Miss?” at fringe festivals throughout the northeast.
