ANNCR: Jahmila is a 23 year-old student at the Art Institute of Chicago. A year ago, she had no confidence in her ability to finish a sculpture of her left ear.

GIRL: I couldn’t calm down. I was all over the place. Every time I sat down to sculpt, I’d break part of it.

ANNCR: A friend advised Jahmila to try “primal scream” techniques and invited her to practice with him.

GIRL: I didn’t realize he meant, “Let’s go to a football game.”

ANNCR: Jahmila’s first attempt at screaming filled her with a sense of purpose she’d lacked, and soon she was hooked.

GIRL: Those refs are just so blind. Seeing that just makes me feel better about my own problems.
