Listen "Season 6: Belonging and Grief, A Conversation with Mr. Varnis Whitley-Knight"
Episode Synopsis
Brianne and I had a wonderful and eye-opening conversation with Mr. Varnis Whitley-Knight. As you will hear in the episode, Mr. Whitley-Knight suffered from multiple strokes that resulted in aphasia, a language disorder that causes difficulty in communication. Over the course of our conversation, Varnis shares his journey of grief and newfound joy, connection, and continued perseverance. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
