Mortified is a cultural phenomenon where adults relive their awkward adolescence by reading their teen diaries, poems, letters and more in front of total strangers. Part comedy, part theater, part therapy, participants range from professional performers to amateurs.

This is part of an ongoing series “Learning while black: The fight for equity in San Francisco schools.”
