Video recordings of my stories
 Nestor "the boss" Gomez  was born in Guatemala and moved to Chicago undocumented in the mid 80's. 
He told his first story at a Chicago Moth Slam as a way to get over stuttering. He won the slam that night and has not stopped sharing stories ever since and  has won over seventy Moth Slams.
Most importantly, he is the  creator, producer, curator, and host of 80 Minutes Around the World,
 
a storytelling show which features the stories of immigrants, refugees, their descendants, and allies.
Check out some videos of his performances at the Moth and other storytelling shows.
