Philly Youth Radio is proud to share radio pieces produced by youth. In the face of all of the troubles of our time, its essential to hear about the struggles, successes, and aspirations of the young people of Philadelphia.

When Dinh To and her family immigrated to South Philly from Vietnam two years ago, she faced the daunting prospects of a new language, a new school, and a new culture. But Dinh has triumphed beyond the expectations of even her own sister.

How did she do it? She fell in love with cooking.

Come hear her story at our radio showcase next week, Feb. 26, at WHYY.
