In episode 8 of Season 3, Youth Host Connor Walford returns to Rewriting the Rules® to conduct “man on the street” interviews with guests of St. Paul Youth Services’ (SPYS)’ Annual LIT Party. Connor interviews guests about their favorite books, authors, and reasons why reading is important to critically and creatively make sense of and navigate our world, our lives and specific circumstances that come our way.

SPYS, a leader in reimagining how our community engages with and holds itself accountable for Black youth, hosted its Second Annual LIT Party as part of SPYS’ Focus on Our Families ExperienceSM. The event, sponsored in part by Minnesota Bank and Trust, is a celebration of joy, reading, and summer, bringing youth and their families together to explore multicultural books and stories, while enjoying delicious food, games and family time.

SPYS' Focus on Our Families ExperienceSM Network is a constellation of individuals, organizations, and businesses offering experiences using "our Smart, Fair and Loving ApproachSM to youth and their families in the fields of athletics, the arts, health & wellness, culture, science and history across all SPYS programs"-- at no charge.
