Here’s a clip from the NOCD podcast that went live today— you can listen to it anywhere you get podcasts or watch it on YouTube youtu.be/9MzTXXyzkms — where I talk about the pervasive myth that keeps so many people from getting help for things like OCD.

"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities within the Vietnam War draft system.
I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, I honor all the ancestors I never met, the ones I only recently learned of, and the ones who survived & told me their stories.
I share pieces of my family’s stories of survival & escape in both THE COLOR OF SOUND and in my forthcoming on THREE PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS.
