Ben Margiott/Arizona Republic

Angelina Dominguez orates her tale at the Storytellers Project at the Phoenix Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona on Oct. 3, 2015.

KJZZ partners with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers series. We record the live events and share them with you on the radio. In Phoenix, the storytellers sometimes share stories about our community or the life events that have shaped them in general. Megan Finnerty is the creator of the series. 

When Angelina Dominguez was 16 years old, she and her boyfriend had their first child. She was kicked out of the house and they moved together to Mesa. Eventually they got married and had a second child. Dominguez said life wasn’t hard; they were just a couple of kids raising their two children and loving life.

Angelina Dominguez is a photographer living in Mesa.

The next storytelling event is Feb. 10, 2016, at Changing Hands FirstDraft book bar.
