Join us today for our 2nd interview in honor of Pride Month with our host Jamie Brickhouse and Ethelyn Friend (she/her) who is a queer white theatre artist & educator based in NYC. Raised under the wing of New York School poets and an early student of Allen Ginsberg & Anne Waldman, her original writing for performance merges her lifelong investigations of poetry, theatre, & the extended voice work of the Roy Hart Theatre. She has written and performed several solo projects about her family including Songs My Grandmothers Taught Me and most recently Blackout: How I Became White In America, about her discovery of her family's direct ties to slavery.
Ethelyn is a joy to have on the show and shares her journey of almost 25 years of continuous sobriety. Listen to her share about her process of overcoming and facing PTSD, and her journey on being gay in recovery. If you wish to reach out to Ethelyn personally, find her on www.ethelynfriend.com, Facebook: Ethelyn Friend or IG: @friendethelyn. You can reach our host Jamie Brickhouse at www.JamieBrickhouse.com.
