Jeremiah Toller/Arizona Republic

Anwar Newton shares he story at the Searching event at the Desert Botanical Garden on Sept. 9, 2018.

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. 

Anwar Newton shares a story about an unusual car-jacking experience.

The next storytelling event is Feb. 13, 2019, at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.
