Latinas put their message where the ears are - Three Forest Grove girls hope ’stay in school’ resonates with a hip-hop station’s listeners - Oregon

“The giggle fit just wont quit.

In a Jammin 95.5 FM studio, the three teenagers tittering is contagious. They laugh, pause, then laugh again. Its funny to hear their recorded voices for the first time booming from the studios speakers, they say.

Within seconds they snap back to serious mode. They remember why they are there: to deliver a message to Latino youth just like them about staying in school.”
